Sliders and marks
Heya, Looking at bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643487 and the original https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643486 we figured that it would be best for sliders to point to their marks instead of trying to add labels on the end of scales. This is Jakub's mockup: http://gitorious.org/gnome-design/gnome-design/blobs/master/mockups/theming/widget-dissect-slider.png And my current implementation: http://img64.imageshack.us/f/keyboardreversedscale.png/ The problem is that GtkScale allows for the marks to be placed above or below scales, and that you can add one mark above, and one below. I've already added a GTK_STYLE_CLASS_SCALE_HAS_MARKS class to gtk+, should I add a GTK_STYLE_CLASS_SCALE_HAS_MARKS_BELOW and GTK_STYLE_CLASS_SCALE_HAS_MARKS_ABOVE instead, and make the theming engine do something special in the cases where all the marks are on one particular side of the scale? Do we want to handle vertical scales with marks as well? Are those used at all? Ideas welcome. ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list

Having left and right or top and bottom marks at the same time sounds like a corner case (e.g. a temperature slider with C and F marks).

Having left and right or top and bottom marks at the same time sounds like a corner case (e.g. a temperature slider with C and F marks). There would be two separate slider knobs available. One with a direction, and one with a simple dimple (the round one in jimmac's mockup). We could either say: if all the marks are below, we'll draw a pointy slider, otherwise the round one. But that would sort of break the clean divide between themess and GTK+ itself (some themes might want to have pointy sliders when things are above too, etc.). So we'd need a way to export the marks positions to the engine, and adding style classes doesn't scale (we'd need to add 4 separate ones for this to work). ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list

I think you can get away with just two, by combining top/left and bottom/right. The engine can combine that with the orientation to work things out. ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
