Hi, I can include the feedback suggestions (expanded on below) and also make the same changes to the GTK1 interface. However, I'm a bit confused as to whether richard is working on this already or not. Are my patches in an okay format? ie. if you wanted to keep all of my changes, you shouldn't have to open glade at all, right?
If it's ok, tonight (sun) or tomorrow I will make the following updates to my changes (and any others we agree on) and bring the GTK1 interface up to the same point as well. - Rearrange/rename the "add search" and "passive search" buttons - Remove the "tabbed" mode for viewing search results - ?Possibly? combining my changes with the "expert mode" setting already in place > Do we really > need three gui modes? Would it not suffice to relabel the expert mode > and move more stuff there? I agree, this would work way cleaner. The only problem I see is that people who want to fiddle with the more advanced settings don't necessarily want all that extra stuff in the interface. Having only one option means that if they want an simpler interface, they also don't have access to the advanced options. Sure, they could turn on "expert mode" adjust the settings and then turn it off again, but is that what we want? The way it is now (well, with my patch) "Simplified user interface" only hides widgets, it doesn't actually hide any settings. I'm pretty sure the "allow experimenting with low-level settings" thingy only hides settings, ie. it doesn't actually change the day-to-day interface. So the two different options actually cover different areas namely "Settings" and "Interface". But, maybe that's a needless distinction. > The "passive search" button is missing on the screenshots. > I would to relabel the "new search" button to "Add" or "New" > and put the "Add passive" or "New passive" beside it only visible > in expert mode.

Ideally I'd like to get rid of the "new search" button altogther. People just press enter anyway and it's confusing clutter. Of course that would make it even more unclear what the passive search button does. I think the best would be to change the "new search" to "Add" as suggested and put an "Add passive" button underneath it as opposed to beside it. I guess if the user is in "expert" mode anyway we can expect them not to be too confused about it... Although, is the passive search feature something we need? > Tabbed mode > > It is still possible to show the searches as tabs and not in the > sidebar (right click on searches -> show tabs).

I'm all for removing it.
