So, given that people do it, and we need it, shouldn't we have a
consistent small border constant. Say in the 6-10 pixel size?
Any comments?
I don't think we should.
If we had one, everyone would use it and things would start looking
cramped again.
Lastly if you place a Toolbar on your application, like all good Aqua
apps should have, the first item of the toolbar is much closer than 20
pixel to the left of the screen.
A toolbar doesn't count as a part of your window contents. It's a
seperate entity from a design standpoint.
This is usually when the window is mostly filled with large items like
large scrollable text fields or list fields. In these cases, the
larger border looks bad.
If there are only a couple of large containers (like text fields or
lists) that fill the window, I prefer no border at all.
Just go ahead and use what looks best. (Or, better yet, try to find a
designer to make that decision.)
bye. Andreas.
