GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 556623
correct spacings in glade dialogues
Last modified: 2008-10-17 16:23:59 UTC
The dialogue's borders were slightly wrong (6 instead of 5 for the dialogue and the main vbox's child, which adds up with the correct 2 (or 14 for alerts) of main vbox spacing to the required 12 (resp. 24) px). And some label: widget pairs had 6px instead of the required 12px spacing. Attached patch corrects these.
Created attachment 120750 [details] [review] patch
the HIG says the border width should be 6px, link here: http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/windows-alert.html.en#alert-spacing
Well, the HIG is wrong here. We have [1] GtkDialog [2] - internal vbox [3] - first child Now suppose we set the border of [1] and [3] to 6px; take a screenshot and do some pixel counting. We find that the border is 14px instead of the required 12px. If we set the borders to 5px, it works out to 12px. (And these are the settings that are therefore used in every other Gnome module too.)
ok, patch applied to trunk now, thanks.
