I harmonized the appearance sections of check box, radio button, list view, drop down, and combo box with something like this (depending on the control with more or less items):

* If activating a choice affects the appearance or the enabled state of other controls, place them next to the xxx.
* Align xxx vertically rather than horizontally, as this makes them easier to scan visually. Use horizontal or rectangular alignments only if they greatly improve the layout of the window.
* If certain controls in a configuration dialog are only relevant if a certainxxx is checked (i.e. they are dependent controls), disable them instead of hiding.

* Do not separate xxx and label. Clicking on both the box and the label should toggle the option.
* Do not add line breaks. If necessary place an additional label below the check box.
* Label xxxx with a descriptive caption to the top left of the group (cf. [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Form_Label_Alignment| alignment]]).
* Create a buddy relation so access keys are assigned.
* Use [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Capitalization|sentence style capitalization]] for check box items.
* Do not use ending punctuation (neither dot nor colon) for group label.
