Hello devs,

I'm really enjoying the Universal Binary version of pgAdmin much more
than the PPC version. It's much snappier and the wxWidgets are more
responsive as well!

There are just a couple things that I think would help it fit in
better to OS-X World:

- In Preferences, you can adjust the font, but it doesn't seem to
have any effect? It would be great to adjust the font for the
treeview to make it smaller (my macbook screen is rather small
vertically)

- You can also adjust the Query font which works, but it's not
aliased. I would love to use TextMate's default font, Monoco 12pt
Aliased.

- My biggest pet peeve: Command-W doesn't work to close windows

- The Explain tooltips don't work right for me - the tooltip shows
up the first time I click an icon, then it never comes back.

Again, I really love pgAdmin and would like to use it on OS-X (for
the moment I'm running the win32 version in Parallels since it
provides a better experience).

Nick

Yes, it seems that wxWindow::SetFont() doesn¹t work on wxMac. I¹ll
investigate further tomorrow and log a bug with them.

How would you normally select this? WxWidgets seems to have an anti alias
attribute for a wxFont, but the closest option I can see on the font
selection dialogue is Shadow which isn¹t really the same as anti-alising.

That¹ll have to wait for 1.8 I¹m afraid. I¹ll be polling the lists to build
a roadmap sometime after release * please make sure I remember to add it.

Thanks * I¹ve committed a fix for this.

Unfortunately we¹re at the mercy of wxWidgets somewhat * wxMac has come on
in leaps and bounds in recent versions, but it¹s still not as mature as
wxMSW or wxGTK.

Thanks for the feedback.
