Description Calum Benson 2004-01-16 11:53:41 UTC 
"Core Layout Configuration" and "Advanced Layout Options" are unwieldy
names for tabs, not to mention mixing the similar terms "configuration" and
"options" for no obvious reason.

Suggest renaming to something simpler, e.g. "Basic Layout" and "Advanced
Layout".
Comment 1 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2004-01-19 17:10:34 UTC 
I will do it. Better/shorter wording is always good.
Comment 2 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2004-01-20 09:09:22 UTC 
Done. Not exactly the names you proposed - but I think it is good
enough. So would you mind trying it please from CVS?
Comment 3 Calum Benson 2004-01-23 12:46:55 UTC 
They're pretty reasonable.  I have to say we'd normally advise against
using the word "Options" (or "Settings") in UI labels though-- they're
just unnecessary synonmyms for our term of choice, "Preferences".  But
since this whole dialog is about Preferences, using it again on the
tab would be rather redundant.  Although by the same argument, so is
"Options" :)

Cc'ing some other usability and docs folks in case they have any
better suggestions...

Well, since noone complated, I am closing it. If anyone is unhappy -
feel free to reopen.
