Re: [Avogadro-devel] [ avogadro-Feature Requests-1833404 ] Depth Cues

[Donald E. C. <don...@ui...>]

I think things like Axis / FPS / Fog is handled very well as a checkbox
in the menu rather than in the settings dialog.  Settings dialog should
be things that don't change often.  Also, Fog / Axis / FPS is on a
View-by-View basis so if anything it should be in a "View Properties"
dialog.  We can always change simple things like this.  

That's my two-cents.
