Hi,
with GTK2 some applications used to set the minimum size of some widgets using
gtk_widget_set_size_request. E.g. the min size of a GtkImage. This no longer
works with GTK3 and the min size of the GtkImage is that of the underlying
image, e.g. a GdkPixbuf.
There is also a bug report here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670068
Is gtk_widget_set_size_request broken? Or how is an application supposed to
set (or override if the app knows better) the min size?
gtk_widget_set_size_request()
I must admit the docs are incorrect about this, it says:
"Sets the minimum size of a widget; that is, the widget's size
request will be/|width|/by/|height|/. You can use this function to force
a widget to be either larger or smaller than it normally would be."
But what it should say:
"Sets the minimum size of a widget; that is, the widget's size
request will be/|width|/by/|height|/. You can use this function to force
a widget to be larger than it normally would be."
In other words, as Cosimo already mentioned in the report, a widget can
never be smaller than the minimum size reported by the implementation.
He also mentioned that you can configure that particular widget to
actually be smaller.
Two other options are:
o If you cant display the whole widget, put it in a scrolled window
o Use clutter-gtk library to put the GtkWidget one a stage and then
scale it and transform it to the desired size ;-)
