Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
If you open up gnome-appearance-properties to change your desktop theme
you'll see that there are 2 items displayed per row while there is
almost space enough to add a 3rd item. This looks a little odd and makes
it harder to select a theme because you have to scroll more to see all
the available themes.
If the default/minimum size of the window is enlarged by a bit, then
this problem would be solved. Only problem is that different themes have
different values for the width of the border and that influences the
size of the canvas with the themes.
With the default Ubuntu theme (has wide borders) the window should be 14
pixels wider. With something like Elementary theme it would only take 3
because the border size is zero or one.
This problem could be seen as a paper cut because almost every user will
encounter this. To fix this could give a better impression/user
experience and my guess is that it shouldn't be that hard to
fix/modify/test.
Attached is an image with a comparison of both default theme and
elementary theme.
As a side note: this 'problem' exists for a long time, I think already
in Dapper. That's about when I started using Linux/Ubuntu. Now using
Maverick.
