If you don't need to support values of each kind in a widget, it could be coded in a more compact way (enum value for the kind + actual value, or even some bits for the kind and other bits for the value itself) 16:46:14 <Alberth> An alternative direction could be to drop support for changing these things at any time, and eg only do it when in the intro screen. After a change you can then close all windows, and re-open the intro screen window from scratch. It's not as nice though. 16:47:51 <frosch123> i would hope we get some in-game font choose dialog somewhen 16:48:09 <frosch123> changnig that interactively would be annoying if everything closes all the time :) 16:48:31 <frosch123> i wonder how to change the magic places, that do size computations on start 16:48:45 <frosch123> i would hope they could be move the UpdateSize (or how it is called) 16:49:29 <frosch123> also it's weird that the scrollbar does size restrictions differently than the other window decorations 16:50:40 <Alberth> probably all hysteric, at the time I was mostly interested in doing the conversion on each thing individually 16:51:21 <frosch123> i marked some places with "TODO" in the patch, which do unusual things 16:52:07 <Alberth> I still have a hard time understanding the zoomy things, naively, you'd think that you could change eg the size of the icons or the font, and re-init all windows 16:56:29 <planetmaker> frosch123, keeping those TODO in the commit certainly wouldn't hurt IMHO (if that wasn't your intent, dunno) 16:56:40 <planetmaker> good evening also :) 17:01:53 <frosch123> as i see it we have 3 units 17:02:09 <frosch123> base pixels: used for icons/sprites 17:02:17 <frosch123> lines: used for text 17:02:42 <frosch123> traditional pixels: used for spacings and size suggestions 17:03:15 <frosch123> also, any opinion about the chat window size? 17:03:38 <frosch123> the current setting (number of pixels), which is not reachable via the gui makes no sense to me 17:04:09 <frosch123> either it needs to be resizeable (no idea where), or it should be in % of screen width, or in number of "W" character width or something 17:04:50 <frosch123> what was the normal screensize in 2005? 17:05:02 <frosch123> 1600, 1280? 17:06:12 <Alberth> not sure #pixels makes any sense any more today :) 17:06:16 <frosch123> i also wonder whether to tie the width of the statusbar to the size of the menubar 17:06:37 <Alberth> latter makes sense imho 17:07:26 <Alberth> chat window something like 40 or so characters W, or 1/2 the screen whichever is smaller, or so 17:08:04 <frosch123> that would be two settings :p 17:09:25 <Alberth> or we add a title bar with a resize button at the right side so you can shade it 17:09:41 <Alberth> in that case, just % of screen :p 17:10:21 <Alberth> double click window to get a query for the size? 17:10:36 <frosch123> are we talking about the same window? 17:10:50 <frosch123> i mean the semi-transparent overlay over the viewport 17:18:18 <Alberth> I was too, but it's totally possible I am talking nonsense 17:18:50 <frosch123> well, getting a popup when doubleclicking on the map would be annoying :p 17:19:36 <planetmaker> we might not necessarily have a character 'W', do we? 17:19:46 <planetmaker> a % of the window width sounds nice to me 17:32:02 <Alberth> wondering, do you ever double-click at the map? 17:32:23 <Alberth> hmm, perhaps to open some window 21:18:35 *** Alberth has left #openttd.dev 23:04:30 *** frosch123 has quit IRC
