| Summary | 0017950: [patch] User Interface Preferences UI Polish | ||||
| Description | * Reorganises User Interface Preferences into a clearer grouped, two-column layout. * Keeps related options together under Appearance, Workspace, Story Editor, Interaction, Font Sizes, Language & Region, and Startup. * Preserves the existing preference controls and storage behaviour. * Improves consistency of control sizing, alignment, labels, and tooltips. * Shows the default theme explicitly as System Default. * Updates the Story Editor font button to show both font family and size. * Adjusts keyboard tab order to follow the new visual layout. * No preference schema or functional behaviour changes intended. | ||||
| Additional Information | +Screenshots showing current and proposed layouts. | ||||

I'm not a fan of the two columns for making the preferences more compact. Otherwise, it looks fine. |
|
|
Two columns is the only way to see all at once, @ale. Especially for people who don't like to scroll for something that should be just there. |
|
|
I appreciate your quick feedback, and willing to discuss more if you have a better idea. |
|
|
I am not a fan of the two columns presentation either, that increase the visual clutter. |
|
|
Ok, @ale and @jghali. I see your point. So, one column that scrolls? Or, Tabs? |
