Frank, So it looks like get rid of trailing colon/space and right align text for normal dialogues.
For RTL, GTK already swaps the label and control along with the alignment which I have observed on the 'View Invoice page'. The preference dialogue may need to be treated differently, not sure yet and there is also no indents for RTL, will need to be looked at separately along with some other RTL stuff I have been thinking about. For removing the trailing colon, 35 out of 66 glade files and maybe some source files would need to be changed which is probably too many changes for maint in one hit all be it in a few commits. Then on top of that, changing from GTK boxes to grids and the alignment changes, I am just not sure what to do on maint and what to do on master? Regards, Bob On Mon, 4 Nov 2019 at 16:05, Frank H.
