GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 560189
GtkScale doesn't allow minimum size
Last modified: 2008-11-21 15:17:55 UTC
On a small handheld device it is essential to be able to tweak minimum sizes for certain widgets, so that you can use widgets with your fingers. GtkScale doesn't currently support that. I suggest adding style properties "minimum-width" and "minimum-height".
Created attachment 122337 [details] [review] Implement minimum width and height Implement minimum width and height as suggested. The implementation lives in gtkscale.c, for the sake of simplicity, and because that should make it easier to adapot the code once GtkOrientable is applied to the scale.
As it turns out, the motivation for the bug isn't valid anymore. So for what I want, I'm not finishing the patch. If anybody wants something like a minimum size, I suggest to reopen this bug, implement it in GtkRange, use only one single style property and use ->orientation in the size_request condition, that's how I would have updated the patch.
