[ZooLib-dev] Cut-off OS X buttons?

[Michael D. C. <cra...@go...>]

Hi,

I need to fix the cut-off Aqua buttons on OS X.  I'm happy to do the work 
myself, but I'm not at all familiar with the code involved, and am not sure 
where to look or what the best approach will be.  So perhaps someone can give 
me a tip about it.

In response to a previous post about it, Andy said the problem is that the 
Appearance Manager is inconsistent about button dimensions between OS 9 and OS X.

(If you haven't seen it, the problem is that the bottom few pixels of 
pushbuttons are cut off when drawn by the appearance manager with the Aqua 
theme on Mac OS X.)

Certainly one could introduce a fudge factor but there would be more or less 
elegant ways of managing it.

I have written a small OS X app in ZooLib that my client is going to announce 
soon.  I expect that I will port the app to Windows as well (which will take 
some effort, as it involves a device driver, and that part's not portable). 
But before he can show it to the press I have to fix the buttons.

Once it's announced I'll add it to the list of ZooLib apps on the sourceforge 
site and post a screenshot.

Mike
