<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">Hi all,<br>
<br>
I would like to inform you that you can now switch between different<br>
command dialog styles in GRASS 7 (r52927). There are 4 styles, 3 of<br>
them are new and they are providing platform native look. It should<br>
solve the problem described in ticket #306 [1] (hidden tabs). Styles<br>
can be changed in settings dialog - Appearance tab.<br>
<br>
Two styles use wx.Notebook with top or left tabs. The third one which<br>
uses wx.ListBook is not yet finished. The default style is the current<br>
fancy green FlatNotebook.<br>
<br>
It would be nice to add some icons to the tabs. So far I added only<br>
icons to manual and options page to get idea how it could look like.<br>
Unfortunately it is quite difficult to create icons which would<br>
describe the tabs (required, optional, selection, ...). But except for<br>
ListBook icons are not necessary. (Now icons are not used in fancy<br>
green notebook because used style is not ready for icons.)<br>
<br>
The advantage of the two basic styles is that they inherit system<br>
colors (since they are native). So it is better for users with unusual<br>
themes which are not much supported by wxPython.<br>
<br>
Styles were tested on Ubuntu 10.04 (Gnome), information how styles<br>
look like on Windows and Mac (including comparison to other<br>
applications) is appreciated.<br>
<br>
Please, share your ideas about style names, icons and styles itself.<br>
If you know how, you can also try wxPython demo and do your own<br>
experiments with various notebooks.<br>
<br>
Note that this feature is experimental and even though it is change of<br>
style some bugs which seem to be unrelated can appear.<br>
<br>
