does ImageCtrl position depends on dpi ? [message #24015]

Hi everyone,

I design a small app under Ubuntu.

I am currently using the Layout Designer to design the layout of my app.

I want to display three images (successfully imported in my .iml) which are 32x32 pixels each, vertically, and with no margin between them, like this:

 ----
| 1  |
|    |
 ----
| 2  |
|    |
 ----
| 3  |
|    |
 ----

On the layout designer, I create User Classes with ImgCtrl class and I make the borders touch themselves. I checked in the text content of the layout file, everything is alright, I have 32 pixels between each position.

But when launching the real app, I am disapointed to see they do not touch themselves anymore.

I then tried to change the DPI of my screen, and tada ! I can see that the relative position (in pixels) between the ImgCtrls is not the same.

I believe this is because we are dependent on the dpi when positioning images.

How can I solve my problem ?

Here is the illustration at 96 dpi (original):

index.php?t=getfile&id=2051&private=0

And at 72 dpi (images correctly touch themselves)

index.php?t=getfile&id=2052&private=0

Thanks,
Lionel

Sorry for bothering, I found the solution:

Ctrl::NoLayoutZoom()

Problem solved.

..but you better fix your GUI font size. The whole issue is to accomodate various font sizes....

Thanks, I figured this out as well. But eventually I decided to keep the scaling stuff which is IMO a better solution, but I rescale the images to the controls sizes. The circles can look bigger, it's no big deal for me.

Thanks for answering though
