Does REALbasic have anything analogous to the property of interface
widgets in Cocoa to the size being Regular, Small or Mini? I've
always considered the default (i.e., Regular) size of interface
widgets to be needlessly large, and prefer Small, but don't see how
to make edit fields, checkboxes and other items Small rather than
Regular.
The size of things like EditFields and StaticTexts is entirely up to
you (just change the font size and control dimensions). Most
fixed-size UI controls like checkboxes, scrollbars, etc. will switch
to the smaller size if you reduce the dimensions.
(But if this is an app for users other than yourself, please consider
whether departing from the standard sizes will be something your
users will appreciate. I know I wouldn't, for example, except in
rare situations like a floating palette.)
Best,
