Matthew suggested to make the option descriptions shorter and add longer descriptions in a tool tip. That would tidy up the upper part but you'd still have the overview of all options. It may require a change in the drivers, though, and possibly a change of the configuration infrastructure itself. I'm going to look into this. I believe I can do this without breaking compatibility between old/new drivers and DRIconf version. > On a > slightly related note, a drag bar between the parts to change their > relative height might be nice. I don't like the drag-bar. In the old UI it tended to mess up the automatic widget space allocation and forced me to hard-code some widget and window sizes in pixels. If this is really an issue I might break out the application settings into a separate dialog instead. > > > Thanks for this great update, keep 'em coming! :) > Thanks for the feedback!
