Stories and Scenarios that implies UI

I am trying to learn how to use BDD for our development process and I sometimes end-up writing things that implies a UI design, so for brand new development or new features, the UI does not always exists.

gtk: expand widget as if it had some text in it

I have a GTK widget, in this case, a TreeView. It starts off pretty small and compressed, as there's no text in it besides the columns names. As I add things, it grows horizontally to cover the text and vertically to cover the extra rows. If I then take those away, it retains its expanded size. It's kind of annoying for your window to a...

gtk logic behind treeviewcolumns needing cell renderers

From what I understand about GTK, if I have a TreeView, I can't just use any widget I want to display information about a column. For text, you need a gtk.CellRendererText. For toggle buttons, a gtk.CellRendererToggle. For anything else, it seems you have to implement yourself, which, from a sample one for buttons that I saw, doesn't loo...
