That's not fair.... :(.
Compromise, compromise. Most of your changes went in ;-) Anyway, I would argue that your argument doesn't hold up because you didn't make the dialog smaller, you reshaped it. I added 40 pixels to the width. Big deal. Original dimensions: -box: 0 0 312 358 Your dimensions: +box: 0 0 395 235 My dimensions: box: 0 0 435 235 Incidentally, you can make dialogs smaller if you alter the code. Try, in FormBase.C/FormBaseDeprecated.C, setting minw_, minh_ to 0.9 * form()->w, h. There should be some limit because it's possible to crash xforms otherwise. > You mean: remove the "false" in the FormAboutlyx.C, and repair > the resize/gravity for the browsers? Yes. Or at least have a go. I couldn't get the browsers to resize, which may be an xforms bug or may be my incompetance. Now looking at the document diff... Angus
