OK, thanks for that WilliamL. I saw the workaround earlier and it seems to work well enough.
It's still a bug though.
Maybe (hopefully) it'll get fixed in the next PB iteration.

Cheers

I'm using the latest PB release (6.10) and the large vertical spacing in the ListViewGadget is still evident.
Is anyone else seeing this? Or am I missing something?

Normeus :
Thanks for that. Everything I needed and now, after a bit of fiddling, it's working fine. :D
I don't often use these API functions - and I hate to include code that I don't understand - so, for reference, could you explain the constant terms in your solution and/or tell me where such ...

You can attach one menu to another and only update one attached menu.

Thanks for the response but it doesn't seem to help much. My understanding of the way Windows does things is practically negative.

I've just noticed that ResizeImage() doesn't work although it was reported as a possible bug way back in 2004. ResizeImage() works as expected on both MacOS and Windows.

Many thanks wombats. That works for me.

With the ListViewGadget, is it possible to prevent horizontal scrolling?
I know how to hide the scrollbar but it's all too easy to inadvertently scroll sideways with a trackpad or Magic Mouse and this gives me problems when displaying a table.

An old thread but ...
Is it possible to set the foreground and/or background colours of a ComboBoxGadget?
This is not usually a problem but on one of my apps (and in Dark-Mode) I get a white foreground on a white background!

{edit:] this is on macOS. I should have mentioned that.

Thanks for that mk-soft but it doesn't seem to be working on my Ubuntu 20.04 setup.
If the system dark-mode is off the the buttons toggle the app's mode between dark and light as expected.
However, if the system's dark-mode is on then the buttons do nothing (i.e., the dark-mode remains on).
Any ideas?

Nice. Very nice.
Thanks for that.

mk-soft,

Thanks for the swift response.
You may have misread my first post. I'm not trying to apply Dark Mode globally, I'm trying to ignore Dark Mode locally!

I just removed the "Debug" reference and changed the
"*Theme = UTF8(ThemeName + "-dark ")" line
to
"*Theme = UTF8(ThemeName + " -light ...

I have an app that runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Unfortunately, neither the macOS nor the Linux versions play well with Dark Mode.
I've found out how to disable/ignore Dark Mode in macOS but does anyone know of a solution for Linux (Ubuntu)?

Unfortunately the situation is complicated regarding the many different Linux distributions and desktop environments. I have tested my last example on 12 different Linux distributions:

Distribution Desktop GTK2 GTK3
Bodhi Linux 4.5.0 Moksha - -
Fedora 27 x86 Gnome 3 Error -


Yeah, I appreciate ...
