[Lazarus] IDE Component-dialog: small button

[Vojtěch Čihák]

AFAIK in Lazarus dialogs is often used component TButtonPanel (Misc palette) with OK, Cancel, Close and Help buttons. These buttons are autosized with Constraints.MinWidth:=DefButtonSize.cx; (this value is taken from Themes: DefButtonSize := ThemeServices.GetDetailSize(Details); it is 75 on Qt).

 It looks like a button that has been autosized; I must admit my feeling 
 is that autosized buttons should have a minimum width, something like 
 the width of a "Cancel" button, say. The general GUI convention seems to 
 be to have all buttons of similar sizes, and the lazarus autosize 
 algorithm produces buttons that can often look on the small side 
 compared to most programs. Turning off autosizing is a bad idea because 
 of the variety of system fonts.
