That is indeed a general problem of MS-Windows (and other OSes?) for all applications for which I did not yet find a solution :-( There seems to be no way to reach the bottom of a window when the upper-left corner does not offer shrinking capability. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

Perhaps the underlying GUI library comes into trouble here as well IMHO, a GUI framework should not allow this kind of things to happened, which I only meet with applications builded with some libraries (by the way and beside of one other project, I'm currently working on GUI library for Windows XP, not portable, but for Windows only and well suited to Windows). I like GTK a lot, but it seems it works better on Debian or Ubuntu. Portability is oftenly at the cost of something ;) (didn't it seems obvious ?) P.S. In the mean time, it is nice to have GTK on Windows, beceause it allows to design GUI interfaces for Debian/Ubuntu on Windows, without the need to switch all the time (but designing an application is one thing, and using it is another). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

This is more of a design issue (not taking into consideration small screens. And in this case, it means a vertical resolution of less than 768 pixels).

But at least you can use Alt-Space to get the window menu and move the window up and down again, even though the title bar disappears. Isn't the dialog in question just about 600 pixels high?

Programmers may realize that it's in their hands to add controls to dialogue windows that works within 614400 pixel squares no matter what arrangement the smart graphical OS software chooses, provided they are made aware of this opportunity. Unless, of course, computer users be prevented from freely choosing their preferred window appearance. A programmer's "works for me" attitude that makes him/her fix the size of a dialogue windows dismisses that essential separation of content (buttons, input fiels, ...) and style (size, color, ...). Yes, the size of screens is no longer <= 480 pixels, vertically, as it used to be. But wait, it still is nearly this size, today, on most popular cell phone computers! How did the loop guys manage to make usable dialogues on a sceen this small? There mus be something wrong, then, in (a) visual design tools and libraries and (b) programmer education. > (something I know of as being initially designed for minimal "local" > applications, meant to be used as an Internet access device and not as a > full up computer) Uhm, browsing the WWW is not really a "local" application? Also, it's the WWW and "web design" that require larger screens. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

Althought I agree with the two points, I feel the second one is the most significant. Too much application designers does not realize how ergonomy should be one of the main focus, and did not realize how much effort some compagnies make in ergonomic research. Perhaps a lot of these ones feel the most exiting part is in “ coding ” and not enough in “ take care of the user (or client, when things goes fine) ”. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

Thanks for the point, it was nice to learn it (I like to learn about exotic UIs) By the way, you can achieve the same in Windows : you have to make one of the window a top-level window while leaving the other (the one you type in) a normal window which still keep the keyboard focus. As most applications does not allow you to make it a top-level-window explicitely, you may need a tool like DeskPins : http://users.forthnet.gr/pat/efotinis/programs/deskpins.html then, simply put a pin on the title bar of the window you want to stay on top. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread
