Re: [Denemo-devel] GtkFrames have no border

[Richard Shann]

Apparently, this lack of a frame round a GtkFrame is the result of some
style gurus deciding the frame caused "visual clutter" and sniping at
the frame widget via the default theme. It has apparently been fixed in
more recent default themes, but the widget itself has not been given a
bold label nor an indent for the frame contents which would have made it
compliant with the style guidelines being advocated.
Well, as a workaround I have colored in the labels and done some padding
so the Object Inspector is reasonably clear now. I haven't seen what
this looks like if the frame border *is* drawn however. In git now for
those able to build from source.
