Title: merge Preferences box in main window
Post by: Fabioamd87 on August 21, 2010, 07:30:32 PM
every "tab" on top have it's own interface integrate the main window.
I'm wondering why Preferences have a secondary interface, is possible to merge all in one window?

It's common practice to open preferences in a popup dialog (like in Firefox). Also, the prefs are usually much smaller than the main window and would look silly if stretched up to that size.

AFAIK chrome/chromium are going to use a tab for preferences...

this means that you can optimize space between sections

No, it means I'd like to keep it as it is.  :P

Yeah, IMHO it's better to have a separate window for preferences!

by the way, this behaviour is not diffused in other applications.

Not true AFAIK, chrome/chromium and firefox are going to show preferences in a tab... it could be interesting to me, do at least a mock up...
