Hi, i completely agree with Martin here. I see some problems with the code too, we have a single column layout code in nearly all properties window files now (so you have only 1 column when the properties window has a small size). There would be additionally code needed to have a nice horizontal layout, where I see another problem, who maintains that well? And I would prefer not to have lots of "if layout is horizontal, small or vertical" blah in the code honestly. 2.5 was designed for vertical buttons window in the first place, everything else is up to the user, who can modifiy the layout files as he wish.
