People should use libglade. I agree that libglade is adequate for typical desktop applications but Glade-generated code can be a useful starting point for more interesting applications. We use GTK+ for satellite test equipment and there are various AIAA/ISO/USAF requirements regarding font sizes, colors, focus order, etc., that contradict normal human interface guidelines. For example, since most satellite test operations are 24/7 there are restrictions on window customization, movement, and resizing. (Test operators are unpleasantly surprised when windows have been customized during the previous shift. This is a minor annoyance when there are only 1 or 2 displays, we have up to 12 displays.) We find Glade-generated code to be helpful in this environment. We use Glade to generate code for the top-level layout and to generate the initial code for a particular display. After a design iteration or two with Glade, we copy the Glade-generated code into its own code module, remove the display from the Glade project, and modify the Glade-generated code to meet our requirements. _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
