Another idea that may be useful/inspiring... :) Personally, I don't see why one would want all descriptions shown by default. Using context-sensitive description labels, not only space will be saved, but the user experience will be improved, because the user only sees relevant information. Think about it: why would one need to see the description for the keyboard properties when one is looking for a way to change the system sounds? Possible implementation: use Danilo's mockup [1] as a starting point (I think it could use a graphical redesign (sorry, Danilo ;>), but the basic layout looks good to me). Add extra whitespace above the headers. This extra space will be used to show a description label when hovering the mouse cursor over the icons (or when selecting them using the keyboard, of course!). mvrgr, Wouter [1] http://kvota.net/~danilo/gcc-mockup.png -- :wq nobody loves me :: it's true :: not like you do -- portishead
