My opinion remains the same. Note that the dialog box as presented seems to have some layout issues that cause it to be taller than needed (see formatting in the sync section at the top). However, I suggest having the dialog box move (scroll) on screen as you move your mouse to the screen edge.

Putting on my individual contributor hat here, I have to say that Ben's solution would seem very non-intuitive to me. I'm not aware of any app that works that way, and I would probably think that the dialog was just cut off (as is currently the case on my netbook), and would not expect to be able

BTW I am being a curmudgeon here for two reasons: - I have a deep aesthetic opposition to scrollbars in dialog boxes. Yes, I know Under the Hood has one, but that panel is sort of exempt because it's a) a sewer, and b) it has a white background that makes it look like a scrolling list. To me, a

I agree that this dialog should be shorter, but I think we still need an overflow solution. I can always make the display smaller or make the fonts larger. Alternately, we should pick a target minimum font size+display height and say we don't support user configurations less than that (kind of

BTW I think the Use Gtk Theme button should be replaced by a special theme that triggers this mode, much like the default theme we have in the theme gallery. This would make the selection of this mode vs. others feel more natural wrt the others. -Ben -- Chromium Developers mailing list:

Oops, I'll clarify and say I like the idea of getting the frame tint from the OS and making that be the default. I think you will probably still want to have the special theme to trigger the the Gtk icon mode. -Ben On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 5:04 PM, Ben Goodger (Google) b...@chromium.org wrote: I
