All dialogs are resizeble on Linux why can we make them resizeble on Windows as well ?

Subject: Feature Request : Sizing Wizards
Date: 7 Nov 2001 11:18:02 GMT

I'm begining to seriously evaluate Eclipse, in order to find if it is my
perfect IDE.
For an IDE to be my perfect IDE, it has to run and be usable on all of my
computers.
Including my little Vaio (PCG-C1VE, great in the train).
That is, it has to work with a 1024x480 screen.
The workbench is OK, the wizards are not always.
I don't know (yet) if it can be managed in a general way, or if it depend
of each plugin, but a detection of screen size seem to be missing, and
would be a very good thing in my case.
Comment 2 Kevin Haaland CLA 2002-01-21 20:07:34 EST 
No plans to change the current behavior.

Reopen for investigation

Note that the preferences dialog is now resizable.
There is code to ensure a dialog does not size larger than the screen.
Comment 4 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-08-08 11:06:36 EDT 
Dialogs should not in general be resizable as dialog designers will then have 
to keep an eye on thier layouts to be sure they still work at all sizes.

I think this would be a can of worms for Eclipse users.
Comment 5 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-08-15 08:28:34 EDT 
Given the amount of code in the dialogs to get good sizing currently I think 
this is not required and not really very useful. Closing.
