| Hi List!
|
| Made a lot of GUI changes today!
|
| a.) saving GTK1 and GTK2 fontnames in different preference setting,
to
| prevent problems when switching between GTK1 and GTK2 ethereal
versions
|
| b.) added new feature "Edit->Go To First Packet" and "Edit->Go To
Last
| Packet" with corresponding menu and toolbar items

Cool!

| c.) added new feature "View->Zoom In" / "View->Zoom Out" /
View->Normal
| Size" with corresponding menu and toolbar items
| This feature will act as a "size offset" to the current fontsize, so
| that the packet list/tree view/... will have a larger/smaller font
size.
| The value is stored inside the recent file.

Nice feature! It only applies to packet viaw and tree view, not "byte
view", except for the 1st time you shrink the font size; but then the
font size stays small.

| d.) Win32 only: Try to get the win32 system font and fontsize at
program
| startup and show the menus/dialogs and such with the same font and
| fontsize like other win32 windows.
| This makes the program make a *lot* more feel like a normal win32
program.
|
|
| I've tested this on win32 only, both with GTK1 and GTK2.

It runs OK on cygwin too!

| As there are lot's of icons in the toolbar now, it's maybe become
| necessary to split into more than one main toolbar.
|
| Please be kind, if I should have introduced any new bugs to the
code,
| specially on the unix part as I cannot test it.

Regards,

Olivier
