RE: [iPAQ] Re: GTK Widets size

You can set up a .gtkrc (or maybe it's .gnomerc) that defines the style for
gtk programs (font sizes, scrollbar widths etc).Not sure if it'll work with
intimate... I've only used it on other machines before.

Also, I can't remember the name, but someone on IRC was working on a
GTK-Squished style a month or so ago... I was going to get round to checking
it out for my home automation app, but I got a job instead...

If you maximise the window Gtk will try and fit it on screen as much as
possible, but it generally looks pretty rubbish.

I wonder if the solution might be to hack Gtk a bit so that if the
window wants to be bigger than the available screen size it puts the
whole window inside a scrollable container. It would be a pita to use,
but it would make life a lot easier for using apps that haven't been
specifically designed to run at 320x240.

If the app uses libglade then you could just edit the glade file and
move the widgets around until it fits.

Cheers,
