patrickb Quick question: How would I add a border around a dialog? Setting border width on e.g. a label works, but it seems to not have any effect on a node or center element. 15:23
japhb Make the surrounding .node a .widget instead, which gives it a drawing surface. Most of the layout methods that don't name a particular widget just create simplified layout/placement nodes that do not actually directly provide a drawing surface. 18:17
But if you use the .widget layout method, it creates a generic Widget to scribble on. This will also give you a central point to filter events destined into your dialog, since events travel through the real widget hierarchy, not the layout tree. 18:18
I can't believe those lines ended up the same length purely by chance. 18:19
patrickb Did that last message end up in the wrong window? 19:05
Thanks for the quick reply! I'll try that!
japhb Nope, it was referring to the two lines right above it (which are exactly the same length in my maximized irssi window). 19:07
You're welcome, and good luck!
patrickb Ah! No chance I would have noticed that on this smartphone with a non mono space font. :-P 20:45
