Dear list,
Please consider the following snippet.
---
import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Rectangle;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
public class GtkClientArea {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
final Display display = new Display();
final Rectangle clientArea = display.getClientArea();
System.out.println("Client area: " + clientArea.toString());
display.dispose();
}
}
---
On my system (debian lenny, gtk), it gives: "Client area: Rectangle {0,
0, 1280, 1024}". My screen is indeed 1280*1024, but I have (as is usual
in Linux) a top bar and a bottom task bar, meaning that this is not the
area which can be used by applications.
If in my app I try to create a shell and set its size to 1280*1024, when
opening it, I see it is automatically resized after opening to (about)
1280*974, I guess, by the windows manager.
So the method getClientArea does not seem to return the area my
application can use to display itself. Is it a bug?
Thank you.
Olivier

Ooops. Being new at SWT, I didn't thought I would have found a real bug
but rather something I was not understanding correctly, so I did not
even bother to check there... My fault!
Thank you for your time.
