D12849: Improve layout of fonts kcm

[Nathaniel Graham]

ngraham added a comment.


  I know the tabs are currently ugly, but let me explain my reasoning behind suggesting them:
  
  It's not a simple "VDG says tabs are bad, don't use them"; scrolling is preferred to a more formal method of organization only when the content itself is naturally scroll-friendly, like a list or a view of images or icons. Settings widgets don't really qualify, especially since some of them actually respond to scroll events. It's not uncommon to be scrolling a view with a combobox or a stepper, have the control pass under the cursor, and then your scroll action is interpreted to mean "change the value of this thing". Furthermore, it's not very user-friendly to have the KCMs be scrollable. People complain about this and we gets Bugzilla tickets (e.g. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=392314).  We should design our KCMs such that the main content fits within the default window size (roughly 1024x768 now).
