After designing the UI for a new System Preferences pane I've
discovered that the window size in Leopard is 75 pixels wider than it

my shiny new UI is clipped on the right side in Tiger. Ugh. I've sent
feedback that the docs are incorrect here and need to be updated...


In the mean time, what is the correct way to handle this?


There's a Developer example that shows how to handle this (create two different views, one for each version). http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/PrefsPane/index.html

That's not an option for me, I've got way too many views (it's a rather substantial pref pane).


For the moment, I'm going with making the window wider while my pane is active... I might re-evaluate adding code to manually resize various bits of UI at a later date. It's a non-trivial task.

Thanks,
Dave
