I don't think it's that great for "non bin" containers such as table (especially if modify_*() is used internally) or great care should be taken not override settings the user made. Imagine a two column table with the left column using one font and the right column using another (because programmer took care to make it so) and something coming along calling modify_font() on what holds the table which propagates the modification to the table, which in turn changes the appearance of the labels ... You have the same issue with Gtk::Bin like containers, but your suggestion makes more sense (to me) for those. I don't really think of tables, boxes, layouts and stuff as widget's that "have (or should have)" fonts. > Perhaps this can be done for more functions then just modify_font. if the function had a separate signature such as modify_all_*(), like show() vs show_all(), none of it would be problem ... somebody calling the "all" version of function should be aware of repercussions, or would soon be :) _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
