Previously, the generic implementation closely mirrored OS X's scaling factors, with the small size being 3/4 of the normal one and mini 2/3. This works well with OS X's UI font and font rendering, but less so on other platforms: wxWINDOW_VARIANT_SMALL is barely readable on Windows and wxWINDOW_VARIANT_MINI is illegible. In wxGTK, both sizes are readable, but don't match small text used in native GNOME interfaces. Change the sizing to use the same scaling factor of 1.2 between all variant steps. This is the same factor that CSS 1.2 defines for relative sizes and is also used by Pango's (and so GTK+) size scaling in markup. This makes wxWINDOW_VARIANT_SMALL identical in size to <small> markup used in GTK+. On Windows, this changes default UI font scaling to be less steep and while wxWINDOW_VARIANT_MINI is still tiny and hard to read (as it is on OS X), wxWINDOW_VARIANT_SMALL is now readable, thanks to being only 1pt smaller than the full size (for default GUI font). git-svn-id: https://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/trunk@77519 c3d73ce0-8a6f-49c7-b76d-6d57e0e08775
About
wxWidgets is a free and open source cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native controls.
wxWidgets allows you to write native-looking GUI applications for all the major desktop platforms and also helps with abstracting the differences in the non-GUI aspects between them. It is free for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples. You can learn more about wxWidgets at http://www.wxwidgets.org/ and read its documentation online at http://docs.wxwidgets.org/
Platforms
wxWidgets currently supports the following primary platforms:
- Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 (32/64 bits).
- Most Unix variants using the GTK+ toolkit (version 2.6 or newer or 3.x).
- Mac OS X (10.6 or newer) using Cocoa (32/64 bits) or Carbon (32 only).
Most popular C++ compilers are supported including but not limited to:
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2003 or later (up to 2013).
- g++ 3.4 or later, including MinGW/MinGW-64/TDM under Windows.
- Clang under OS X and Linux.
- Intel icc compiler.
- Oracle (ex-Sun) aCC.
Licence
wxWidgets licence is a modified version of LGPL explicitly allowing not distributing the sources of an application using the library even in the case of static linking.
