Compiler toolbar width

(1/2) > >>

eranon:
Hello,

Is it possible to increase the width of the compiler toolbar ?

I have some long target titles (for example "GCC x86 Release wx300 - VERBOSE") which are not visible in full in the combo box and can be easily mingled with some others starting identically (for example "GCC x86 Release wx300 - PRELOADED").

EDIT : I succeeded to enlarge the toolbar playing with the CompilerToolbar options (bestw and minw values) in default.conf, but it doesn't change the combox-box width inside the toolbar.

Try doing this. I forgot where the compilergcc xrc are located; but, IIRC you can just edit then and the next time CB is started the size would be larger.

eranon:
Thanks, Stahta. I can't try just now, but I'll do it asap...

oBFusCATed:
The best option would be if we can add an option, so every user can set this up himself.
Unfortunately we can't make this size-automatically, because it will mess the layout of the toolbars.

eranon:
@stahta : I finally found possibility to try and it works (modified the XRC as you said, resetted default.conf to let C::B autocomputes the best size around the combo-box, then rebuilt the workspace and ran update.bat to renew output). Thanks again. Quite more comfortable now :)

@obfuscated : so, maybe just a free field in which user would be warned that any change is made under his own responsibility... Or a kind of INI like file gathering all these kind of customizations which would be outside of the standard (e.g. the way it was done with a software like Eudora under Windows : a lot of advanced options in the .ini file and most only modifiable by hand).
