No particular reason. Been doing other things, life happens.

I have used the grid layout in my designs and neer considered using headers for just two options. In term of a generalised dialog not all developers like to have the wrap around option at all, and the match case option is meaningless in many languages too and might be hidden in some locales so these subheadings feel unnecessary to me. I suppose I prefer the clear lines of it compared to the extra indentation afforded by list. the existing design is closer to what abiword and mozilla have used in the past so I'd be hesistant to change it. > The grid layout may also have issues with translations with long > strings. If the colspan is set in glade to use all the available space that shouldn't be an issue. -- Alan _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
