PR #3141 preferences 3D view dialog beautification
I noticed that the 3D view dialog has unnecessary whitespace, some items are much too wide and some are a bit scattered:

I added the missing SetEnabled slot for the backlight label and beautified this a bit:
(I removed the line because it was not clarifying anything.)

Nice, +1
I couldn't help asking myself if we can align right every dropdown list button... what do you think?

I'm all for this, one caveat though, please make sure the results are the same on all platforms

I implemented it according to your changes but kept the Mouse... button where it was: I think one could sit ages at the layout. In my opinion it is better than before.

Yes sure, thanks for taking into account my suggestion!

Re: PR #3141 preferences 3D view dialog beautification
The page is by far too overloaded now. Things should be arranged in a way that at a first glance it's easy to see what all the settings are good for. This e.g. means that all the settings that affects the rendering like showing the cs, fps counter, render cache, anti-aliasing should be moved to an own group box, then navi cube stuff should go into an own group box and all navigation stuff should go into an own group box, too.I think one could sit ages at the layout. In my opinion it is better than before.
And if the page becomes too big then it's probably best to split the whole thing into two pages.
At the moment when I open the preferences then the dialog occupies around 80% of the available height on a 27" monitor and the culprit for this is the IFC import/export settings. The page offers around 30 options and that's by far too much. So, this pages should be split into two.
Re: PR #3141 preferences 3D view dialog beautification
I don't agree because it consumes less vertical space than before and the different items are better listed and aligned.
Your criticism is a general one, but I only tried to improve the situation without heavily changing things. I mean from time to time people complained, so I started some action.
I am not opposed to rearrange the whole dialog, splitting it into 2 or whatever.
Re: PR #3141 preferences 3D view dialog beautification
The PR was eventually merged so I played a bit to get your proposal done to move the Mouse--- button. And I think yes, this looks nicer:

I promise, this will be my last action on this dialog for now -> we are facing a commit freeze for good reasons .
Re: PR #3141 preferences 3D view dialog beautification
After merging your last PR I started to work on the page and moved all navigation stuff into its own page.
git commit 1601766af6d
git commit 5d99fcb119
If you just look superficially at the page then it's so overwhelming with that many settings and for newbies not quite easy to understand. Mainly settings that affect the pure rendering and settings that affect the interaction with the 3D view are mixed together which makes it even more complicated to understand their meanings.
That's why I have re-arranged the settings and moved some general settings, the rendering settings and the navigation settings into their own group boxes. And because when having all settings in one page it still looked very overloaded I decided to split them into two pages.

Thanks to both, every "small" UI improvement is a big joy to me
