but when I reopen the project or run it I get this

What I really want is something that looks more like this
http://cdw.homelinux.com:8087/hp/rpn3.jpg
which was done in C++ builder.
I tried setting the height and width of a few widgets, but that didn't seem to do anything. I also can't find anyway to change colors or font size and type.
I'd put the buttons into a GtkTable for layout. You can set a cell horizontal and vertical padding which you should be able to adjust to get the spacing you want. Be aware that the user can change the font / display resolution / text direction behind your back, so you need to be quite flexible about how you handle resizes.
Colour and fonts are best set in a gtkrc file so the user can change it, rather than being wired into your app. Set names for your widgets and then write a gtkrc file like:
# style for button background
style "background_style" = "default"
{
bg[NORMAL] = "#0"
}widget "*background_widget" style "background_style"
Now anything called "background_widget" will be painted with a black background when in the normal state. You can set fonts in the same way.
So far I have only tried to compile this stuff on linux
and it worked fine. Will Borland C++ 5.02 work fine to compile this stuff?
You might try the gtk-win list for win32 tips.
