Hello, Just because you can make the base class easier to subclass (e.g. Box without HBox and VBox) doesn't mean you should get rid of the two specializations. you just have to inline, for each gtk_vbox_ method the gtk_box_ one Plus, its a verbosity thing: I like having <VBox> and <HBox> around when using Flex or XUL as much I preffer having them in Gtkaml i'm making. (instead of <Box orientation='horizontal'>) To put it in another way: don't let over-generalization stump on easyness of use. Do both:) _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
