Style custom Palettes

[erikos]

(see Home View)

• there should be a minimum size for the Palettes

• the entries should fill all the horizontal space (see old school Activity Palette in the Journal)

• the horizontal (separator) line at the bottom should go all across

• insensitive items (see Speak Palette in the frame device)

[manuq]

Toolkit patch for the insensitive items.

[manuq]

Toolkit patch, correct size and paddings for palette window implementation

[manuq]

The three patches above get back the palettes layout to normal.

[manuq]

Shell patch to fix the palettes with custom items.

[manuq]

The two new patches improve the API so the implementation details of adding items in menus are hidden to the consumer, like the shell palettes.

[manuq]

Two issues still:

• the separators are thinner than in 12.1.0, maybe because of cairo rendering (width number is the same)

• the outline border of the menu dissapears when an item is hovered

[manuq]

New artwork patch.

[manuq]

New toolkit patch.

Thanks Manuel for the patches, looks already much improved to me. If Gary is convinced that we should not go for 3 grid cells as a minimum keep it at the 2 cells minimum.

Thanks, I'm good with the 3 grid cells minimum. FWIW the first patch with 4 grid cells was particularly strange looking in some places due to the excessive blank empty space in palettes that only had short content (Group and Home palette hints, Activity palettes with short names etc).

Thanks Gary and Simon for the feedback. Pushed toolkit 5505eb30 and shell 798548f8 .

In general the various palettes/menus throughout Sugar look reasonable and have for a while.

Looked at in Sugar 0.98.2 & .3.
