New XRC files for Stitcher Panel (Was: Re: [ptx] thoughts for hugin UI, post 0.5)

[Ippei UKAI]

Hi,

As I am ok with the current one, I do not want to say too much about  
this, but here is a couple of notes in my head.

- As the maintainer of hugin on mac, I'd like to ask you to at least  
imagine how it would look like on Mac. I know we have to compromise  
somewhere, but I don't want to see something does not fit on mac at  
all. Good reference:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/ 
OSXHIGuidelines/XHIGLayout/chapter_19_section_4.html

- Please remember hugin's main window should be displayed at least at  
600x800, typically at 1024x768 or more. Every mock-up and xrc demo  
seems using the smaller area than the original layout, which could  
mean the layout become unbalanced with big window leaving big empty  
space.

Cheers,
Ippei

P.S. I moved to a new flat and found the shared DSL USB modem is not  
Tiger compatible. I've ordered Amazon a new ethernet one and a  
wireless router, but I have to come to the uni. building to check  
email for a while.
