After working through a number of tests in the new Linux IDE, I've just realized that I'm spending a lot of time "fixing" the default control height and/or textsize properties on many controls so that the built application looks like what I designed in the IDE.
While the font baseline positioning in the IDE when placing controls appears correct (PushButton, Combobox, PopupMenu, EditField), they are too small in the built application. The result is the Caption is weighted towards the bottom of the control. While I realize that you are simply drawing representations of the controls in the IDE, these are misleading and the resulting built application is far from pleasing to the eye if the defaults are used when compared visually to what was designed. The default height set to Pushbutton controls for the default fontsize is 28. In my experiments (and when comparing the height assigend in C++ GTK apps), The default height should be 30. For the others, the Mac default of 20 is still used. These should also be 30. Additionally, if using a Combobox, the editfield that is active actually extends outside of the top and bottom of the combobox area. I've attached a screenshot demonstrating this appearance issue. http://realsoftware.com/feedback/ajxhudbt Tim -- Tim Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
