[Digikam-devel] A note on sidebar widths

[Marcel Wiesweg]

Hi,

there had been some complaints about sidebar too large minimum sidebar widths 
in 0.10, but looking at current trunk I think all widths are now back to 
normal.

Just to put this information somewhere in the public, the current sidebar 
minimum width status is this:
Sidebars are ~312 pixels minimum on both sides.
Included are 10px for the splitter handle and 30px for the tabbar. 
Leaves 266 net space for sidebar widgets.
This minimum size is determined by the color and the GPS sidebar,
as the HistogramWidget, the CIETongueWidget and the WorldMapWidget all have 
deliberately set a minimum size of 256. We could shrink minimum width by 
reducing these three. I assume the next limiting factor will then be the 
Caption/Tags tab.
However, I think there is good reason to have a certain minimum size for the 
three widgets.
