Implement zoom for About this system

[sambuddhabasu1]

Currently the zoom option to switch between manual fit and best fit is not present for the About this system application. This needs to be implemented.

I am currently working on this bug.

Ok great you made the window zoomable, now implement the AboutWindow::Zoom(BPoint where, float width, float height) method so that it zooms helpfully.

[sambuddhabasu1]

Hi jscipione, I did not quite understand what you meant by implementing a AboutWindow::Zoom so that it zooms helpfully. It would be really helpful if there were any examples or any existing app which implements these kind of functions. Thanks

What is the point of having zoom in About window anyway?

This makes no sense, zooming this window is useless. Closing as invalid.

[jscipione]

Not so fast

[jscipione]

Generally you want to zoom so that the content fits nicely on the screen and then make the window as tall as comforatable. I don't know an example in the haiku source code but I did some pretty sophisticated zoom code in the paladin editor that takes into account Deskbar's location and size so as to zoom without covering it.

Then the default implementation does what is right: even at full screen size and ridiculously small font the window won't be wide or high enough to fit the whole text.

I still think it is correct to not have a zoom button at all on AboutSystem.

Agreed, I see no point to it either.
