The current documentation of GtkAlignment says that its xalign and yalign properties can be replaced by halign and valign properties of GtkWidget. This is not quite true because xalign and yalign properties could have any gfloat value from 0 to 1 while halign and valign can be only GTK_ALIGN_START (corresponding to 0), GTK_ALIGN_END (corresponding to 1.0), GTK_ALIGN_CENTER (corresponding to 0.5) and of course GTK_ALIGN_FILL and GTK_ALIGN_BASELINE (which are not interesting in this context). There is no way to replace other values of xalign/yalign, like 0.25 or 0.33333. 2. GtkAlignment had the xscale and yscale properties which could be used to make the child fill a specified fraction (or percentage) of its parent. Currently we have the fill and expand properties and the GTK_ALIGN_FILL value of halign/valign but they allow to control the size of the child widget in two extreme ways: either fill as few space as possible or fill whole available space. Also we have margins and paddings which let the child have some space around but the distance is expressed in (logical) pixels. There is no way to make the child fill e.g. 90% of the container and keep the margin/child ratio as the container is resized. Such feature would be also helpful to design the UI which automatically adapts to the available screen size. Some time ago we have discussed this on IRC and eventually filed the bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745317 As you can see undeprecation of GtkAlignment would be helpful for us. Alternatively a new container could be developed but some of its features would actually be the same as of GtkAlignment.
