Hi everyone!

Some apps use a BTabView with spacing around it, e.g. Appearance
(http://s2.postimg.org/pd7fqlw3d/appearance_orig.png) some without,
e.g. Screensaver (http://s3.postimg.org/f6mos5w03/screensaver.png).
Should we avoid the mix and do it either one way or the other?

Here is what those other preferences look with (_orig) and without
(_new) the spacing:

locale_new.png http://s11.postimg.org/4s8oyyrcj/locale_new.png

time_orig.png http://s15.postimg.org/3v9fw6mrf/time_orig.png
time_new.png http://s17.postimg.org/tikru06dr/time_new.png

Here are two prefs panels that show gratuitous spacing without using BTabViews:

mouse_orig.png http://s1.postimg.org/ncpwh1xcf/mouse_orig.png
mouse_new.png http://s7.postimg.org/cpbx4r84b/mouse_new.png

What do you think?
Personally, I like the 'without-spacing' better, esp. in the BTabView case.

Humdinger
