Description Rüdiger Herrmann

The view action configuration dialog looks deserted, especially when there are only few items to configure.
Suggestions:
* adjust the size to better fit the content
* more clearly mark the title are (where the name of the view to be configured goes)
* align to appearance of the close button with the rest of the design

A usability issue is, that the check boxes only work when clicking on the check box itself and not when only the text is clicked.

The screenshot shows the new look of the configuration dialog. Please vote with +1 or -1 for this dialog.

I would say the text in the titlebar is too bold and the buttons to wide, especially the "OK". Also, on a general note, there seems to be a problem with the upper left and right corners, some of the background shines through. It might be a problem with the new rounded corners. Until that is solved, you could use a smaller radius for the titlebar ( minus 1 or 2 pixels) as a workaround. (It should work fine if the titlebar has the same color as the shells border.)

+1, it looks much better than the current one. Some notes
* the dialog icon isn't very specific for a "Configuration dialog" Should we omitthe icon at all?
* I would prefer 'Visible actions' instead of 'show items...'

I have added your changes and committed the new dialog to CVS HEAD.

image on check button

I wonder if it would improve the layout if you set the action image as Image for the checkbox instead of using a seperate label.

Any opinions?
