[15:23] <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.

[18:17] <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.

[18:18] <japhb> 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.

[18:19] <japhb> I can't believe those lines ended up the same length purely by chance.

[19:05] <patrickb> Did that last message end up in the wrong window?

[19:05] <patrickb> Thanks for the quick reply! I'll try that!

[19:07] <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] <japhb> You're welcome, and good luck!

[20:45] <patrickb> Ah! No chance I would have noticed that on this smartphone with a non mono space font. :-P

[20:58] <japhb> Heh
