Hi.
I'm working in a shell extension, but I have some problems with St.Label
sizing and positioning.
First problem: I want to vertical-align a label inside a container
(St.BoxLayout, if it helps). I've tried this:
let box = new St.BoxLayout ();
box.add (some_really_high_widget);
let label = St.Label ();
label.set_text ("blah blah");
box.add (label, {expand: true, y_fill: true, y_align: St.Align.MIDDLE});
but nothing happens. The label is shown in the top of the widget, not
vertical centered.
Second problem: I need a multi-line label, to show a long string. But all I
get is a one-line label, it doesn't resize to fit all the text. The code:
label = new St.Label ();
label.clutter_text.line_wrap = true;
label.clutter_text.line_wrap_mode = Pango.WrapMode.WORD;
label.clutter_text.ellipsize = Pango.EllipsizeMode.NONE;
label.set_text ("some really long text");
container.add (label, {expand:true});
But it only shows the first line. The ellipsis is OK, and if I force the
label height through the stylesheet.css, it shows all the lines. But it's
not a good idea, since I don't know the length of the string.
Any idea about how could I solve this two problems?
Thank you very much.
