            Bug ID: 406153
           Summary: Label each widget in Brush Settings drop-down panel
           Product: krita
           Version: nightly build (please specify the git hash!)
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Usability
          Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: tysont...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Right now, Krita's gigantic Brush Settings drop-down panel (F5) are divided
into 6 areas according to our user manual:

https://docs.krita.org/en/_images/Krita_4_0_Brush_Settings_Layout.svg

4 of the 6 areas are unlabeled. This is bad because:

1) It's difficult to provide support/instruction. When I was translating the
user manual, I can see the author was clearly having difficulty pointing out
where exactly is an option, especially when the option is located in Area D and
E.
2) The UI's elements do not align.
3) The UI's elements do not have a clear visual pattern.

For a quick improvement, I think we can:

1) Area B: Rename "Presets" to "Presets List"
2) Area D: Insert "Engine Options" or "Options list" on top of the list.
3) Area E: Insert "Control Page" or "Settings Page" on top of the controls. 
4) Keep "List", "Page" in the titles, they are useful for context.
5) Maybe we can put "Info Bar" in Area A as well...
