This advice based on galculator 1.2.5.2 in Ubuntu 8.04.
== Display tab ==
Clue: The interface says "font" three times and "color" five times,
suggesting poor layout or choice of controls. Underlying fault: Two
attributes (font and color) for multiple things (e.g. Background, RPN
stack) are presented in one column of controls. Solution: Use two
columns.
Background: [@@]
Result: [%%] [Sans Bold 26 ]
RPN stack: [%%] [Sans Bold 11 ]
Active module: [%%] [Sans Bold 9 ]
Inactive module: [::]
While you're there: "Modules Visibility" is gibberish. What does it
mean?
== Buttons tab ==
For me this tab fits easily into 640x480 -- apart from the "Close"
button, and that's off-screen because of the "Buttons" and "Constants"
tabs, not because of this tab. If it's broken in a version newer than
1.2.5.2, please attach a screenshot.
== Constants tab ==
Clue: A set of form fields for adding a new row to a table. Underlying
flaw: The table isn't directly editable. Solution: Make the table cells
editable, like a spreadsheet. Then all you need is "+" and "-" buttons
at the left under the table, for adding/removing rows in the table.
Pressing Enter is equivalent to "Update".

While you're there: Don't call me "User", it's rude. The "User defined
constants" heading adds nothing to what the tab already says, so remove
it, and de-indent the rest of the tab contents.
== Functions tab ==
Same as for Constants tab.
== General tab ==
For me this tab fits easily into 640x480. If it's broken in a version
newer than 1.2.5.2, please attach a screenshot.
