wxWidgets 2.6.3 and C::B, menu problems and STILL the images-not-changing-state

On Code::Blocks (using wx 2.6.3pl2), the icons next to menu options are kinda pushed in further than they should be!
Example:

And some icons are still not changing state! The ones circled in red are the ones supposed to be greyed out!


I am using Code::Blocks 1.0rv2417 wx2.6.3pl2

Hmmm... it's a funny thing, if you use the big icons, they are working properly... Maybe there is a problem with the resources?
The menus are the same here...

Anyways, it is a confirmed bug (in every nightly ;) )

Conan Kudo

You are right! When switched to large toolbar icons, the problem isn't there!

Maybe C::B should be set to use large icons by default, until this is fixed...

PChris

Yeah, it would be an idea, I'm using the large buttons anyway...

I think the large buttons look better than the small ones as well... And many programs have large and small buttons, with large ones on by default!

PChris

Another reason, why the small buttons shouldn't be used:


wxWidgets 2.6.3p2
Windows XP

If you start C::B in the background, and you use FF in the meantime, and then switch back to C::B this comes out...

I don't know why it is happening for me now...
1) It also happened before, but I didn't notice it, because I was using the large buttons
2) It is a new bug...

Conan Kudo

Yep, small toolbar icons should not be default for awhile, or even they could be disabled... If that was done, the only thing left is the alignment and width problem in menus on wx 2.6.3pl2...

I'll tell you right now that it doesn't help to do a full rebuild! Unfortunately, there is no clue to why this happens, what is causing it, and how to fix it...

Hmm.. you mean you also have the problem I posted above? (the screenshot?)

Conan Kudo

Yes... I had this problem when I used wx 2.6.2, but it disappeared when I used wx 2.6.3pl2... However, I just noticed it again...

Well... then it is easy to draw a conclusion: We need to disable the small icons. ;)

That's perfectly true, a full rebuild from scratch did not help.
@ Devs:We can cut support for 16x16 Icons. They are buggy and useless anyway...
