What is padding? how do I add it? do I add it to buttons or to containers? does it create space between widgets? (sorry for these questions. but, please just give me the name of a function or a property that I can read about.) What I'm shooting for is a constant aspect ratio. I know I can achieve the aspect ratio I'm looking for at my particular screen size using gtk_widget_set_size_request(). I'm not just developing for my screen size though. I would like these buttons to shrink if they need to. maybe there's some mathematical principal I'm missing about the geometry of screen size vs. the number of widgets on a page. maybe my app will be useless on a tiny screen anyway simply because of the the large number of widgets? (...no I don't think I'm missing something.... I know my app should be able to work on a Zaurus, for instance, because of the "pencil" tip is small enough to select tiny widgets.) If I use gtk_widget_set_size_request() will it be possible for my app to work on a tiny screen without re-compiling it? Thanks for your patience and help Owen. - Ben _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
