A narrower preferences dialog #1274
Conversation
Also increase bottom margin on the checkbox.
* Enable word wrap in labels * Replace GtkGrid with two vertical GtkBoxes * Add bottom margins to checkbuttons as label wrapping space * preferences.py: Ellipsize device button label, replace deprecated set_alignment() with set_xalign()
* Replace Grid with FlowBox in Video page * Don't set hexpand on ComboBoxes * preferences.py: Ellipsize video format selector combobox strings

Adding the following before the Gtk.Container branch in _wrap_checkbox_labels() will wrap the label inside buttons too. elif isinstance(w, Gtk.Button):
for c in w.get_children():
if isinstance(c, Gtk.Label):
c.set_line_wrap(True)
returnThe only problem, at least for me, is that the button doesn't resize until hover, causing the wrapped text to partially sit outside of the button. Hiding and showing the button didn't work. But if this could be made to work, we wouldn't need to add the label outside the "Upload local subscriptions" button. |
I'm not a fan of huge button labels, and would prefer to have the longer explanation in a label and a short action description in a button label as it is now in this PR. |

The playlist folder on devices causes window to expand for long paths. Everything else looks good. |

Good catch, the label is now ellipsized. |

Thanks. |
Allows the preferences dialog to be scaled to a width of about 480 px, of which ~180 px is given to the sidebar and the rest goes to the settings pages inside the Stack.
Sets most of the labels to be word-wrapped and splits label+widget combinations to separate lines, or uses FlowBox to do it adaptively. Also adds some vertical space between widgets to make touchscreen use easier.
