Standard widget spacing and padding?
I can't find anything in the various Maemo documents about the standard spacing that Maemo applications should have between and around widgets. For instance, for the GNOME HIG, this is usually 6 pixels between widgets and 12 pixels padding around the window: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/design-window.html This seems like something that should be in the Maemo porting guide http://www.maemo.org/platform/docs/howtos/howto_porting_to_maemo_bora.html as well as the UI specification: http://www.maemo.org/community/hildon_ui.html -- Murray Cumming [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
