I can understand why you would want to keep the users from outright
hiding the toolbar there, but changing the size?
Or, better yet, just stopping it from changing the size settings
of the toolbar, and only letting it do hide/show? I know I can
intercept the clicks by subclassing NSWindow, but that's a bit
much...
Why would you want to take away this added functionality from your
users? If they want an all-text or a smaller display, why don't you
let them?
perhaps the custom view he has in it is a requirement for
working whatever is in the content of the window.. small doesn't
necessarily work well for that.. nor does text necessarily
(although you could bring up a panel)
If the smaller display doesn't provide all the needed functionality,
make it show a sheet or a panel when clicked. That's what the
"Search" field in Finder does, when you make it too small or it
doesn't fit the toolbar anymore and ends up in the menu.
or maybe it's a preferences situation.
I don't quite get what you mean; Could you clarify? His words were
effectively "I want to get rid of the toolbar button or better yet,
stop it from changing the size and just do hide/show". I can
understand that people wouldn't want a toolbar as important as that
in "System Preferences" to be hidden, but the other way round,
allowing it to hide but not resize?
I've yet to encounter a sensible case where this would be desired.
Not to mention that a control-click on the toolbar itself allows
changing the size anyway, which makes it pointless to remove the
toolbar widget.
