Hi !
So here's the new spin :
http://www.manucornet.net/GNOME/logout_dialog/Capture.png
(it's the same URL though, beware of cache !)
I added a little more space in there. Then, I wandered a bit on the GTK
IRC channels, asked questions, learned a few things about window borders
and stuff. So here's the conclusion :
* In a normal situation, changing the window border (to get something
like Jeff showed) would be easy. I have tried several ways to do that on
the present dialog.
* However, the fact that the rest of the screen is faded makes them all
fail, the X server just doesn't want to do it and the window is closed
immediately. To use the current screen fading functions (without
modifying them, which I am completely incapable of :) ), the dialog
window needs to be of a special type. And this type just doesn't want
window decorations (borders).
I think I recall that gksu in Ubuntu (during breezy development) used to
fade the screen, but it never had a window border either, right ?
I could also try a GtkFrame, but I'm not sure this would look good.
Anyway, I'm either gonna have to let the borders idea down, or need the
help of a GTK guru aware of this special situation to help me out :)
Anybody ?
Cheers,
Manu
