I agree that the defaults may not be very good, but the alternative layouts also move the tools which other PCB users will have grown accoustomed to having in a particular position.
I've posted a message on the geda-user mailing list linking to this bug, to see what the PCB developers and other users think should be done. Hopefully there is something which can help solve the issue. When confronted with this myself (deploying a Live-CD for students), I started working on a GTK widget for packing the toolbar and status items in a way which would cause them to wrap as the window was shrunk. Unfortunately, GTK doesn't have very good (any?) mechanisms for doing "height for width" or "width for height" negotiations, so it required a bit of a kludge to make it work. When I discovered the above options, I just flipped the default to a compact horizontal layout, placed the layout name in the title-bar (rather than have it occupying horizontal space in main window area), and found that served our needs OK. -- pcb window doesn't fit in 1024x768 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111405 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
