After creating as many components as I have in fpGUI, I got accustomed to the idea of paying attention to detail. Lazarus IDE dialogs are a *real* eye-soar for me. But after using Lazarus for so long, I got used to them. ;-) > I think one of the things that make the Mac pleasing is that it appears They seem to align things quite well also.

Many languages are longer in text than English. Afrikaans, my other native language is on average 80% longer than the same English text. This makes designing dialogs quite difficult - knowing that you must always leave enough horizontal space for components to grow. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
