           Summary: Systemsettings space and look issue
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 4.1
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR

        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: augustofretes at gmail.com

System Settings, on my humble opinion, is a step forward in the right
direction, however, it seems to be too cluttered and wasting too much space, a
screenshot:

Doesn't look bad? Let's see the System Preferences on Mac OS X:

System Settings windows size is 690 x 521, while System preferences size is 615
x 423. Yet, OS X implementation is showing 26 options against 16, and, looking
less cluttered and easy to understand at the same time.

I think KDE devs could take a hint from Mac OS X system preferences, and reduce
the space between items, and changing the way it separates sections (because
it's wasting much space too).
