macOS GUI Quirks

 

Hi all,

as some of might know, I am working on macOS and some things seem to work a bit different there (wrt KiCad).
During my last project I came across some dialogs, widgets, etc. where initial sizing is not correct (so, not all content is shown), etc.
Mostly no real showstoppers, but leaves a very unprofessional impression…

I will try to reproduce those I can remember and try to fix them.
I guess most of them only need some wisely placed Layout(), etc. calls to fix.

So, is there any document, guidelines, dos and don’ts, etc. how to achieve maximum compatibility/portability with wx?
Something like “place a Layout() at end of each dialog constructor”?

Of course, I don’t want to fix things on macOS and break it on Linux/Windows…


Regards,
Bernhard
