Actually, the HIG specifies 12 pixels between the longest label its corresponding option widget, at least in figure 8-4 on the page Matthew linked to.
Nevertheless, neither the existing gnome capplets nor the spec on google docs is very consistent. I see three different ways in which option label widgets are presented: (1) left-aligned label (2) right-aligned label (3) bold left-aligned label with optional detail text and the option widget to the far right The HIG recommends (1), and that is what's used in the capplets that Seb mentioned. The spec on google docs uses all three (!) in different applets. The implementation uses all three and adds a fourth, right- aligned label without colon (for example in Network and Online Accounts). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/928762 Title: "Theme" and "Launcher" labels are hundreds of pixels away from their controls Status in Ayatana Design: New Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: gnome-control-center 1:3.2.2-2ubuntu6, Ubuntu Pangolin 1.
