Existing default was requesting a window of size 1024×768 at position
(200,100). While it may seem a reasonable default on nowadays displays,
it was not on some intermediate size displays which are considered HiPPI
anyway.
Taking my personal example, my screen is 2560×1440, which is considered
HiPPI by GNOME 3 with a scale ratio of ×2. As a consequence, setting a
size of 1024×768 was actually creating a window of 2048×1536, which is
already higher than the screen. Worse, gtk_window_resize() resize the
window without taking into consideration the title bar, which in my case
added 74 pixels, so GIMP window started at 1610 pixels of height, much
bigger than my screen size, hence unusable (and for some reason, with
the title bar out of the screen so without knowing Super+click shortcut
to move or Super+Up to maximize, people would have a hard time to resize
or close GIMP).
This issue only happens at the first launch of GIMP, when no user
sessionrc exists yet. Once you resize yourself the main window, then
restart GIMP, it is fine (as next times, it will use the user's
sessionrc). Yet it is already a bad first impression.
For temporary workaround, let's use a smaller 800×600 defaults (which
will actually span on 1600×1200 pixels + decoration size on scale ratio
×2).
Still I don't like using arbitrary numbers for window size default.
As we see here, it can end up into all sort of weird result. Even more
with all the scale ratio business which didn't exist back in GTK+2.
Instead, the defaults should have no size, and our code should just
resize to whatever makes the most sense on the current display, which I
believe should likely be maximized. Unfortunately I have a hard time
with gtk_window_maximize() which doesn't seem to do anything at all
(does GNOME ignore _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZE_* hints when requested by
applications maybe?). So until we find the right system, let's go with
this lower window size defaults at least.
Add support for a new type of Tab Style called 'Automatic'. This tab
style makes the GimpDockbook use the biggest actual tab style it can
for its auto tab style dockables, based on its widget allocation.
The tab style candidates for auto tab style are "Status + Blurb",
"Status + Text" and "Status". A docked widget can also say that it
wants to use "Icon" instead of "Status" for its auto tab style. The
'Tool Options' dockable does this. This is to be as backwards
compatible with the old tab style setup, we make 'automatic' the
default everywhere.
We have quite a bit of dependency to internal layout code in
GtkNotebook, but the current code should be pixel perfect and rather
complete.
Also add a basic regression test.
Explicitly set 'tab-style icon' on "gimp-tool-options", it is just a
coincidence that 'icon' has the value 0, the default value when no
tab-style is specified in sessionrc.
Session manage empty- and single-image window separately. So when
starting up, the default 2.6 UI is the same. But when enabling
single-window mode, the image window will become much larger then the
empty-image window. These conceptually different windows will then
from that point be session managed separately: switching mode switches
size of the image window.
Do not show the dock Image Menu in the default UI, it is for advanced
users. The risk for accidental usage is too big if it's shown by
default. Plus, it's not very pretty.

* themes/Default/gtkrc
* app/widgets/gimpmenudock.c: reduced minimum dock width to 200
pixels.
* etc/sessionrc: use -0 instead of -1, just like in X geometry
strings. Changed default dock sizes to be taller but less wide.
* app/widgets/gimpsessioninfo.c: changed code to parse -0 from
the
sessionrc file and to deal more correctly with negative offsets.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=25169
2008-03-22 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org>
* app/widgets/gimpsessioninfo.c
(gimp_session_info_set_geometry):
deal with negative positions read from the sessionrc file and
interpret them as a hint to align the window with the right,
respective bottom edge of the screen.
* etc/sessionrc: position the toolbox in the upper left, the
additional dock in the upper right corner of the screen.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=25167
2006-02-18 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org>
* app/config/gimpguiconfig.c: as an experiment, removed the color
and foo area from the toolbox and added a Colors dock to the
default session.
2003-10-11 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org>
* app/widgets/widgets-types.h
* app/widgets/gimpsessioninfo.[ch]: added new struct
GimpSessionInfoAux which contains "gchar *name" and "gchar *value".
Changed sessionrc "aux-info" format again to be really extendable
this time. Also breaks everybody's sessionrc again.
* app/widgets/gimpimagedock.c
* etc/sessionrc: changed accordingly.
Implemented the stuff suggested in bug #122964. Fixes bug #122964
and bug #52206:
* app/widgets/gimpdataeditor.[ch]: replaced the "Gimp" member by a
"GimpDataFactory" and changed gimp_data_editor_construct()
accordingly. Implement GimpDockedInterface::set_aux_info() and
get_aux_info() and remember the currently edited data across
sessions.
* app/gui/gradient-editor-commands.c
* app/gui/gradient-editor-menu.c
* app/widgets/gimpbrusheditor.c
* app/widgets/gimpgradienteditor.c
* app/widgets/gimppaletteeditor.c: changed accordingly.
* app/widgets/gimpcoloreditor.c: remember the active color
selector across sessions.
2003-10-10 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org>
Cleaned up session management and changed the format of sessionrc
in a way that allows extensions without changing the format during
the 2.0 cycle:
* app/widgets/Makefile.am
* app/widgets/widgets-types.h
* app/widgets/gimpsessioninfo.[ch]: new files implementing the whole
GimpSessionInfo stuff (parsing, saving, restoring, utility functions).
Save / parse the position of GimpDock's panes (bug #122964).
* app/widgets/gimpdialogfactory.[ch]: removed saving, restoring
and session related utility functions and use the ones from
the new files above.
* app/gui/session.c: removed parsing and use the new stuff.
* app/widgets/gimpdock.[ch]: added new virtual functions
GimpDock::set_aux_info() and GimpDock::get_aux_info():
* app/widgets/gimpimagedock.c: implement them and handle the
"auto_follow_active" and "show_image_menu" properties.
* app/widgets/gimpdockable.[ch]: added the same virtual functions
to the GimpDockable class. Enables forward-compatible per-dockable
session management (bug #122964).
* app/gui/dialogs-commands.c
* app/gui/gui.c: changed accordingly.
* etc/sessionrc: ditto. Look at this file and update your own
sessionrc manually if you don't want to lose it.
2003-10-05 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org>
* app/widgets/gimpdock.c (gimp_dock_separator_drag_drop): handle
dockable drops where the drag source is a GimpDockable itself.
* etc/sessionrc: try a new default dialog setup.
2003-07-08 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org>
* app/widgets/gimpdialogfactory.c: added a hack that ensures that
the toolbox is always first in all dialog_factories_foreach calls.
This way the toolbox appears first in sessionrc and first on screen.
* etc/sessionrc: updated the sample sessionrc, tweaked it a little.
2003-06-11 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org>
* etc/Makefile.am
* etc/sessionrc: added a sample sessiorc which will be used after
user installation.
* app/gui/user-install-dialog.c (tree_items): install the sample
sessionrc.
