I will turn on -Wall, I don't think it's currently in my devcpp project
file...

just to be clear, I do agree.  see the list below for what i think needs
improving..

I'm not quite sure what to picture when you say "proper" or "elegancy", at
least specifically.

so, specifically what do you want to see.  here's what I think you're trying
to say:
or at least this is what i think needs to happen to make it better:
- do you want vertical/horizontal scroll bars in case the GUI widgets get
too wide or long...
- smart repositioning of the elements when resizing the window?
- an apply button (ability to cancel without applying changes)
- pretty arrangement of the text edit boxes in a regular grid pattern
(instead of smashed against the left side)

I can't see the problem with the other tabs, they're pretty minimal and
organized pretty well.  At least when the keyboard tab isn't enlarging the
options box so much.

maybe I'm missing a feature of Qt that you're thinking of.   I haven't used
Qt enough to guess what it could be.


will clean up the warnings soon, sorry for those,
