Re: [PATCH] better UI experience (properties window)

 

Please change "Orientation, degree" to "Orientation (degrees)"

The spacing still isn't correct between the "Font Size", "X Position",
and "Y Position" controls.  There is more space between the "Font Size"
and "X Position controls than there is between the "X Position" and "Y
Position" controls.

Thanks,

Wayne
