Sounds good. For now I just did a quick edit to allow choosing grid style,
but I'll wait for your new settings widget rather than porting any more GAL
settings GUI.

Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,

I haven't had a chance to recompile yet (full disclosure!) but this
sounds great.

For the GAL settings, I was planning to break out the GAL settings
from the Pcbnew Display Settings dialog into a reusable widget than
can be embedded into tabs in each GAL-enabled program and acts on a
passed-on GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS instance. Currently the footprint editor
also lacks grid style control as well.

Having to separately add all GAL-specific display options to each
dialog would otherwise become a bit of a maintenance headache.

Cheers,

John
