[Lazarus] IDE Main Window: height is too small and cannot resize (Linux/GTK2)

[Samuel Herzog]

Hi all,

sorry, but this issue was brought up by me.

I tried to solve http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=1020 which is almost 7 years old. (reported in 2005)


And I must say, on windows plattform the  Lazarus IDE MainBar really looks uggly. 

The MainBar Height was set to 110. On windows 75pixel looks perfect. So we had 35pixels of just gray colored nothing.


So we need a flexibel, OS-dependent patch for this issue. Otherwise it might look uggly for another 7 years ;-)

I tried yesterday to make a new dynamic patch, but I was not able to determ the height of the mainmenu.
Will continue tonight.

Regards,

Sam

Maybe we should revert the change made by Juha, until there is a proper fix?
