Description h_abunasr 2013-05-15 19:42:36 UTC
The content of the Transfer column in all the Register views is right-aligned, and this cannot be changed.
It would be nice to have the alignment setup controlled by the user according to their personal preference. 
I think the right-alignment choice was motivated by the designer's need to have the most relevant information to remain visible all the time, especially when the account names are too long and the view cannot be widened beyond certain limit. However, left-aligned text is much easier to read and browse through. Also, the current large screens are much more widespread nowadays and allow to display very wide windows. I hope it would be very easy to add an option, maybe under the Register Defaults Preferences, to choose left- or right-alignment for the Transfer column.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Reassign version to 2.4.x so that individual 2.4 versions can be retired.
