[spambayes-dev] Dialog Hacking

This is much better.  I couldn't really read the "Outlook plugin" bit
because the gradient was too wide, and too dark in parts.

There's still too much (IMO) space between the logo and the rest of the
dialog (the black bit).  This could just be a couple of pixels (again,
IMO).

(I would like a full-stop at the end of the explanation of training too,
but that isn't a dialog design issue).

Is this what you are putting in the (returned!) advanced section?  Or
are you putting it in the filter dialog somewhere?

I think that the new dialogs should expose the four 'read status'
options as well.  I haven't seen anything much in the way of problems
reported about them, and they are often requested.

Yes.  There's nothing worse than working with a bitmap image that was
originally a vector image.  You could check in some other form of vector
image that isn't PSP only if you'd rather (something that the Gimp or
Photoshop could open), but it doesn't really matter.
