#7548: rearranging preference menu to fit on 800x600

Reporter: caseyho | Type: patch
Status: new | Component: pidgin (gtk)
Version: 2.5.2 | Keywords: preferences size conversation font
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
the current preference menu doesn't fit on an 800x600 screen. this was
the first thing that popped up in an adhoc usability test i performed with
a friend.
the conversation tab is at fault here. i looked for ways to shrink it- i
then noticed that the "font" section and "formatting" section sound
redundant. this is confusing.
after additional searching, the "font" section controls your local
appearance, the "formatting" section controls what is sent out. simple
enough.
to remedy this, i renamed the "smiley themes" tab to "theme" and moved
"font" under there. the smileys section is also cleaned up a bit.
no functionality lost, and IMO the new arrangement makes mildy more sense.
there may be a case for removing the "font" option altogether, as neither
adium or digsby has such an option (design by committee? :))
