Hello...
I am developing a gtk application to run on some other display. I want to maintain the size and layout of widgets that I have set on my desktop.For that I would like to specify widget size in percentage.

Any idea how can I do that...

Thanks

Prashant

Widgets are "packed" in GtkContainers. Using various packing properties such as "expand", "fill", and "homogeneous" allow you to control how GTK automatically sizes the widgets. This is typically all you need for any layout.

However, if you do need further control, you can use GtkFixed which allows for fixed positioning and GtkAspectFrame which uses a aspect ration to place the child widget. Use caution with these widgets as they allow you to override the behavior your users will be used to.
