So how about vertically centering the toolbox? Mockup, where left is "worst case" and the right one is "one pixel extra wide": http://files.chromecode.com/temp/button-spacing-collected.png We get the best of both worlds: * Ability to pixel perfectly adapt the toolbox to any windowing setup and an interface with a smoother feel to it * Always square and nice-looking and compact tool buttons We also get rid of the quite ugly flicker when inter-button spacing is adjusted as the toolbox window is resized. And again, if a user thinks the spacing around the toolbox is butt-ugly and can't stand it, he can just decrease the toolbox width. / Martin _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
