I agree wholeheartly, I love the galeon preferences design. The only
problem is finding the appropiate icons, an possibly making a decision
on whether a 'Accept | Apply | Cancel' (current style, you need to hit
Apply or OK) or 'Done' (auto-apply when changing the option) is better.
Lately i've grown found of the latter, but admit it's a bit more scary
at first. Opinions?
Anyway, other suggestions, volunteers for a mockup? I'll write the code
but I would appreciate some help with the design.
