From 66c2d3d9daab5d073dcc65d4a6279ea55ac6b6b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dirk Hohndel Date: Fri, 2 Jan 2015 12:39:56 -0800 Subject: Set up consistent margins in the various layouts The hard coded margins were random and inconsistent and generally ended up with a rather unbalanced look. This was worse on Mac than on other platforms, as there the margins get exaggerated for some reason. This code is a bit of a hack and a bit brute force, but it seems to work to create a much more pleasing appearance. It may need some fine tuning (depending on OS or DE (under Linux)), but it definitely seems like a massive improvement.
