Comment:

 Replying to [comment:8 joleary]:
 > I have a patch for this that sets the buttons at a fixed width and uses
 a vpane so the size of the top and bottom areas can be resized. I have
 some questions though:
 >
 > 1) Is this acceptable, would a vpane suit the UI

 I personally like this option, adding some people to CC with more relevant
 opinions.

 > 2) Should the gripper for the vpane go above or below the buttons

 I think that the buttons should go in the top toolbar, like in the other
 activities.

 > 3) What is a sane default pixel height for the buttons (is it specified
 in the UI guidelines)

 If it goes in the toolbar, it will have the expected size (one grid cell).

 As an aside, you can get the size in pixels of a cell with:

 {{{
 from sugar.graphics import style
 ...
 style.GRID_CELL_SIZE
 }}}
