I added a mockup in an attachment, it doesn't seem so bad to me. I don't mind the empty area so much. It would be fine if KCMs needed to be handled different when displayed outside the System Settings application, I think. An alternative is suggested by how the "Users" pane is currently handled. Here the header text doesn't just repeat "Users", it instead says something about the purpose of the KCM: "Manage Users". I don't know if it would be possible to do that for all of them, but maybe it's worth looking into. It's still possible to get more than three copies of a description on the screen at once, by the way. In fact it's now possible to get *five*. If you click "Shortcuts", you'll get it once in the first pane (where you selected it), once in the first header (to show that it's selected), once in the second pane (because the normal shortcuts are separated from custom shortcuts), once in the second header (to show that it's selected), and once in the window title. It's bad looking, or at least confusing, IMO. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
