[Gaim-devel] layout and icon problems

[Jonathan M. B. <jon...@ya...>]

i've been using the gtk2 builds for awhile now, and just downloaded the 0=
=2E61=20
rpm.  it's a great program, clean ui, nice fonts.  overall, really impres=
sed.

in 0.61, i still have two problems, though.=20

1) in gaim's Preferences: Interface: Buddy List, i have 'show buddy icons=
'=20
unchecked, and show warning levels, show idle times, show numbers in grou=
ps,=20
checked.  for whatever reason, i can't have all three on at the same time=
=20
without making the buddy list window unusually large.  i.e., right now, w=
ith=20
'show numbers in groups' unchecked, one of my friends has an idle time of=
 39=20
minutes, displaying as '(39)' on the right side of the window.  by checki=
ng=20
'show numbers in groups', the group numbers display as they should, 'grou=
p=20
(#/#)', but the idle time disappears past a newly present horizontal=20
scrollbar.  it's still on the right of the window, but, there's now=20
unnecessary whitespace, forcing it outside the window width.  (one of my=20
group names is 16 characters long; without that group name displayed, it=20
aligns correctly.  maybe no one else notices this because group names are=
=20
usually shorter?)

2) the blue aol icon below the yellow aim icon.  the little paper thing f=
or=20
idle users covers this icon.  (also, even when visible, it looks (imho)=20
awkward, like an aim icon with a blue right leg.  the older blue aol icon=
=20
instead of the combo aim/aol icon looks clearer to me.)
