Was already fixed in my local git branch. But thanks :)

Yeah, I agree too. Mainly with the colour buttons.

One way we can fix this is lowering the width of the dialog. If we do
that, we need to lessen the number of tabs. One way would be to put all
colours options in the same tab. IIRC, you already mentionned it.

Another way would be to have four columns, instead of two right now. Not
sure it will be better displayed this way.

We can still think of it now. We still have time.

I'll try the first way (lower the width of the dialog).
