About dialog - 'General' tab looks clumsy
Help menu - looks overwhelmed with options
Suggestion
- About dialog
- dialog
- (optional) rename title from 'About' to 'About XnView MP'
- rename OK button to Close
- align button to the right
- add F1 shortcut to About dialog (as there is no any help file/page, so why not)
- General tab
- (optional) remove 'Windows' from app name
- move Contributors to Credits tab
-- maybe increase font size of 'Contributors' heading, as Translators shall be its submenu
- move Libformat reference to some other tab, eg Credits tab
- remove .ini file reference since its available in Settings>Integration>Paths
- change 64bits to 64-bit
- registration
not sure how registration info is visualized, but, eg in Mockup B, it can be shown under Social string as 'Registered to' (minor spacing adjustment required)
- dialog
- Help menu
- move social site links into About dialog
- reshuffle items slightly
