Subject: Widget spacing
Date: September 14, 2021 at 12:06:18 PM PDT
Hi Zach,
Elaine pointed out to me that the Blast Protein widget layout puts a lot of space between the various widgets, and as you know screen real estate is kind of at a premium in the ChimeraX interface. Anyway, you can pack the widgets more tightly by using .setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0) on your layout, and possibly .setSpacing(0) as well. The tool.py file in the modeller bundle is an example.

spacing 0, margins normal

I think either one is okay, although I feel it would be nice if the "Query:..." text were centered instead of left justified. I have committed a change to ItemTable that will tighten up the spacing between and around the table-control widgets, so let's look at this again tomorrow and see what we think.

Spacing in both input and output dialogs of Blast Protein looks fine to me in the 10-14-2021 daily build of 1.4. So from my point of view, this could be resolved as fixed if it's also done the same way in the 1.3 branch. Thanks!

Great! Fixed in this commit.
I've pushed a partial fix for the tool -- but should I also reduce the margins on the results panel? I think it looks worse without them.
