I'm new to using RenPy, so I'm asking for help.
How can I change the style of the confirmation dialog for exiting the main menu or exiting the game?
Specifically, I need to increase the vertical distance between the Yes and No buttons. But a general solution to change the style of these dialogues would really help.

I have a custom task pane placed at the top and I don't want user to resize its height, I want to keep the height always the same. Also when user tries to resize it, I would like to show a messagebox saying he/she is not permitted to do so (without hacks please). How can I achieve this?
Maybe doing something similar to this? The problem with this approach is that SendKeys.Send("{ESC}"); is closing window when you are in composing window.
The SendKeys.Send method is the most easiest way of canceling the default action of resizing the pane. Instead, you may try to use Windows API functions such as SetFocus to shift the focus from resizing the pane. But there is no a ready-made solution for that out of the box.
As a possible workaround you may consider using Advanced Outlook Form Regions instead. They allow managing the form in the way you need - hide/show, collapse, change the size and layout at runtime and etc.
I am using MFC to create a dialog project and trying to impart color to the buttons.
I came to know that the only way you can do is to make the button owner draw. OnCtlColor() does not work for buttons.
I am able to color the button overriding OnDrawItem , but the problem is that , in the process the 3D cool look (with slightly rounded corner that you get in Win7) is lost.
Is there any way to retain the native look and color the button on top of that?
This is not a trivial task. As long as you are using themed controls (what you want), you cannot do more than the theme allows.
You would have to re-implement drawing of the button on your own, making use of the theme API as much as possible to retain themed look, yet sneak-in your color.
Though note that you can hardly achieve anything better than, what .NET WinForms do, when you set the Button.BackColor:

Disassembling the WinForms ButtonStandardAdapter.PaintWorker will give you some idea and API you need to use. Beware, you need to do lots of coding!
For C++/MFC code check out Vista themed Owner-Drawn and Full-Custom Push/Menu/Image Buttons on CodeProject. Which probably actually does, what you want already (the SetBackgroundColor method), so you might reuse it.
I am studying GUI programming an am doing fine for very simple GUI scripts, but since the opportunities to prototype a bit larger, more complete "real world" programs, I'm having some doubts.
Specifically, I don't know how should I handle navigation between screens. For example:
I create a window
I create the window's content (a panel widget with lots of widgets)
One of the widgets, when clicked, "takes to another screen"
This "other screen" is supposedly something that replaces the current window content. But what should the program actually do?
- Destroy the panel widget?
- Hide/remove the panel widget, but let it "live" in memory, offscreen?
Destroying the whole window and creatin another one is most probably NOT the way to do it.
Some form of navigation (backtrack) is something I plan to achieve.
The core of the question is: how is it USUALLY done, on most programs - what is the "usual", or "current" or "obvious" way to do it?
Thanks for reading, and sorry if the question is confuse and/or vague.
(note: I use PyGTK, but I'd like to think que question is toolkit-agnostic)
The first window is the parent window and the window on a click or navigation can be your child window.. you can have a grand child window, grand grand child window, etc.
You need not delete the parent window. The child windows can be drawn on top of it.
I'm writing a simple window manager (using xlib) for school and I have one problem. I really don't like the default X11 focus mode: 'sloppy focus' (the focus follows the mouse pointer) so I want to change that behavior.
I'm overriding the EnterNotify event but I still have sloppy focus. Can someone please show me the right direction?
Thanks
I found the solution. Just use XSetInputFocus() to set the focus to any window, and the sloppy focus disappears.
This may not be the kind of question one should ask on StackOverflow, but here's a frustration that I've been trying to find a work-around for.
When using the form designer, suppose the entire form does not fit in the space allotted to the form designer, and I have a control say, down near the bottom of the form.
If I try to re-size that control, or move it using the mouse, the work area will auto-scroll to the top of the work area. This essentially pulls my control to the top of the screen. It isn't possible to scroll with the scroll wheel while "holding" a control, and even ScrollLock does nothing for me.
Is there any way to just turn the auto-scrolling off? That way I can at least work on my form without guessing numbers to type into the properties window.
Can't you just turn off autoscroll for the form?
I think it's off by default.
Form.AutoScroll = False
