Hi all, in the last poll thread I asked about how you resize pcb-rnd top window. Many of our power users replied so I think we have a rather nice, probably representative input on this. I intentionally made the question vague to remove the bias for "do not remove any feature, even if I don't use it, who knows, maybe I will". And this feature is the "resize grip widget". It is present only in the gtk2 HID. It's a few slanted lines on the bottom right corner of the window. You could use it to resize or move the window, but according to the poll it's not a popular way over other, per window manager standard methods. This is important because during the gtk4 effort I found it would be tricky to port this feature to gtk4. So my plan is: we will not have it in gtk4 at all. Then some random time I will also remove it from gtk2 because it's bad practice to have a GUI feature that is not native to the given toolkit and is present only in one HID but not the others. (In scope of widgets, we have two HIDs at the moment: lesstif and gtk2, and we are getting a 3rd HID, gtk4. Gtk2 gl and gdk differ only in rendering, widget-wise the code is the same so they count as one. Gtk4 will share some code with gtk2 but will be a different HID because a lot of widget details differ.) Best regards, Igor2
