Redesign the Cheese preferences dialog

completed by: Anthony Granger

mentors: David King

  • The Cheese preferences dialog is quite tall, which does not work well for netbooks or devices with smaller landscape screens, where the dialog can spill off the bottom of the screen. It needs to be redesigned to be more friendly for those conditions, and simplified if possible, as it currently presents some low-level controls to the user. More details, and a screenshot, are in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663146 .
  • Expected results: A mockup of a new preferences dialog design, attached to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663146 , which can be implemented by a Cheese developer. Optionally, a Glade UI file of the mockup.
  • Requirements: Glade for prototyping designs, optionally a graphics package for creating a mockup
