Thanks everyone. Greg, that's a good idea except I don't want to have external dependencies. Right now the app that I'm working on is a simple binary with no baggage (all icons are embedded XPMs). I haven't looked deeply into the code for drawing the symbols yet, however, if I were to create a patch to add inner symbol support, would that be desirable? The other thing I would have liked to have seen is more robust @-support as done with Fl_Browser. For example, being able to change the colour of portions of a label (@C), align text centre (@c) and right (@r) to start with. Is there any interest in this for FLTK 1.3? -- Alvin _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
