As there have been some talk about my old mockup of the new preferences dialog, I thought it might be nice to have another look at it. Right now [1], it's quite noisy, so I thought it might be a good time to do a bit of the kill-your-darlings. http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/inkscape_new_prefs_mockup4.png In this mockup I've done the following stuff: * only icon, no text for the help button (don't say the same thing twice) * no icon, just text in the close icon (same as above) * removed the title at the top, (it's already at the left...and you probably just clicked it). * no icon in the top right corner (it's already at the left) * no frames (the gnome hig advices them not to be used[2] )
