Description
I will talk about the GTK layout machinery, touch a bit on its history, and my work on fixing and improving it that went into GTK 4.18 (and hopefully more that will go into a future release). I'll give some tips and guidance on implementing layout correctly when writing your own widgets.
I'll describe the issues and challenges that I believe the GTK layout machinery faces, and how some of them could be dealt with in the future. Finally, I'll try to compare the GTK layout mechanics to that used in other toolkits, and possibly propose how their ideas could be integrated into future versions of GTK.
