Donn asked me to look at CPIA's use of borders and in doing so I
realized we were completely ignoring any borders specified in
parcel.xml. I just checked in a change so that we now set whatever
borders you specify in parcel.xml. There is one caveat, and that is
that currently wxWidgets limits what we can do with borders. Right now,
you must either specify 4 matching borders (2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0) or only
specify one border and leave the rest as zero (0.0, 0.0, 2.0, 0.0).
This is a limitation that we plan to fix, but haven't done so yet.
One consequence of finally paying attention to borders is that the look
of Chandler changed substantially (people had specified borders all over
the place even though they weren't being used). I did my best to make a
pass over cleaning up the look, but it's in a lot of places and
sometimes it was unclear whether whomever had set the border wanted the
look they had or whether they wanted the border they had specified. If
anything looks odd (too much border, not enough) this is likely the
culprit, but an easy fix.
Let me know if you have any questions/problems,
Jed
