I have made some modification as Tav suggested, and made a mockup. The modified .glade file attached(snapNew.glade.gz).
Here is a comparison screenshot for the two design: http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/3010/spannew8ne.png
I have made some more radical modification (snap2.glade.gz) Here is the screenshot: http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/2961/snap22nq.png
Any other ideas?
This is similar to what I proposed with the following differences:
- You should use check boxes (without labels) rather than radio buttons
since more than one type of snapping can be turned on at a time. (I took a look at the HIG for GTK and don't see why using check boxes this way is a problem.)
The HIG recommends how you should do things, it doesn't cover things you shouldn't do.
Checkboxes and radio list are designed to include labels. You are fighting the design to do otherwise.
At the very least you make accessibility much more difficult since screen readers cannot know which labels fit to which checkboxes.
