[Bug 433917] Re: Main pane and its scrollbar produce doubled border
Hi! Thanks for your bug report. As you may be aware, the upcoming release of Ubuntu 11.10 will feature a redesigned software-center. The bug you describe is no longer present in recent development versions of software-center, so I'll close this bug report. Please continue to report any bugs you may find. Thanks again for your help! (With overlay-scrollbars this isn't an issue - without them the scrollbar is now completely against the window edge) ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433917 Title: Main pane and its scrollbar produce doubled border To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/433917/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

No, it's still a problem in 2.1.19 -- tested in Ambiance, Radiance, Clearlooks, Elementary, and Human. It seems to be slightly worse now, because the gap makes visible an odd border to the left of the up arrow button. This screenshot is from Ambiance. ** Attachment added: screenshot https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/433917/+attachment/1583721/+files/Screenshot-2.png ** Description changed: + Ubuntu Software Center 1.0, Ubuntu 9.10 + Ubuntu Software Center 2.1.19, Ubuntu Maverick + The main pane's scrollbar is inside it, and they have separate borders, which are inelegant when they touch. One way to avoid the effect of the doubled border would be to place the scrollbar next to the pane instead of inside, as Transmission and Banshee do. A more space-efficient way would be to eliminate the extra border itself.

[Bug 433917] Re: Main pane and its scrollbar produce doubled border
Other exceptions include Epiphany, Geany, and Gnome Terminal. The reason so many applications add space on both sides of the scrollbar is partly that there is a low standard for elegance across Gnome (though not just Gnome), so developers don't care about the extra weight and space consumed. But it's also partly that the rounded corners of scrollbar buttons in Clearlooks (and, to a lesser extent, in Human) subtly discourage developers from putting scrollbars inside things with square corners. But putting something with a rounded corner right next to something with a square corner still looks bad even when they have space between them, and so does putting a button with a rounded corner right next to the edge of the screen when the window is minimized (e.g. bug 16045, one of the first Ubuntu bugs I ever reported). So I think the right solution here is to fix the themes to give scrollbar buttons square corners, and to fix the apps to stop wasting so much space. -- Main pane and its scrollbar produce doubled border https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433917 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You're totally right Matt, I will try to do that in the future. Anyway in response to your comment in the forum, I was observing other gnome apps today and I noticed a lot of them use this method: -Transmission -Tomboy -Banshee -Empathy -Totem -Gedit -F-spot -Klavaro -Baobab The list goes on... actually, I think pretty much every gnome app I can think of (some don't e.g. nautilus) follows this method. There must be a reason for that, surely. -- Main pane and its scrollbar produce doubled border https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433917 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
