I am playing with the Toggle Buttons part of the tutorial. After changes the
WTKX file looks like:
<Window title="Toggle Buttons" maximized="true"
xmlns:wtkx="http://pivot.apache.org/wtkx";
xmlns:content="org.apache.pivot.wtk.content"
xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk">
<content>
<BoxPane>
<styles padding="100" horizontalAlignment="center"
verticalAlignment="center"/>
<PushButton toggleButton="true">
<buttonData>
<content:ButtonData text="Anchor" icon="@clock.png"/>
</buttonData>
</PushButton>
<PushButton toggleButton="true">
<buttonData>
<content:ButtonData text="Cup"/>
</buttonData>
</PushButton>
<PushButton toggleButton="true">
<buttonData>
<content:ButtonData text="Star"/>
</buttonData>
</PushButton>
</BoxPane>
</content>
</Window>
Even with a padding of 100 it doesn't appear to do anything different from not
having padding specified at all.
And yes I do like to try and break code, it makes it more fun to learn that
way :-)
