Give window a better maximum size

[hanaral]

Right now it seems to stretch as far as it likes - you should probably make it scrollable after a certain size, and make the top and bottom of the view fade out with Granite

A bit like this:

Thanks, can you give a word that makes this behaviour?

It does limit the vertical window size

also i was looking into the view fade out, do you happen to know which Granite module that is in?

[hanaral]

I can't remember how I managed to do it, it might be because I'm using an older - I'll see if I can reproduce it with the latest.
As for the Granite widget, I looked into it too and it turns out it isn't a set widget. I can't find how they do it on both the applications manu and code in the same way without any mention of a class or anything extra in the css, so it's probably a stylesheet feature.
@cassidyjames Could you drop some hints on how Code, the applications menu and a bunch of other list views have the fade effect?

[hezral]

i think it's here https://github.com/elementary/code/blob/master/src/Widgets/FormatBar.vala somewhere :) i'll dig around

[hezral]

couldn't find it, maybe its done via the stylesheet in Odin.

Fixed in new release elementary/appcenter-reviews#172

@hezral yep to confirm the fade out is handled in the stylesheet, currently only targeting popovers since we can be more sure what the background color is. But I'd be open to explicitly adding it with a style class, that could be handy.

thanks, i found it actually in the stylesheet :)
