I have been wondering for a long time about NoScript Options window. Now, there is a lot of a gray space - I mean below 'General', 'Per-site Permissions', 'Appearance' and 'Advanced' tabs with options etc. Generally, this empty gray space, takes half of the screen. I know, that NoScript v10 version is still under development etc. However, I would like to suggest a small change but mostly ask for your opinions etc.
(NOTE: Because I can't make any screenshot, I will use '<code></code>' tags.) What do you think about changing the options position for the 'DEFAULT', 'TRUSTED' and 'UNTRUSTED' presets? Now, all options are horizontally, right? So, what about changing options position to vertical and add a short description?
Here is an example for a 'DEFAULT' preset. (I'm sorry, if it will be badly formatted). As we can see, this is the vertical type of options. I think it have two advantages, at least. 1/ it will take more gray space and NoScript 'Options' will not be so empty etc. 2/ and most important: inexperienced users will have a better understanding of what these options are responsible for.
Code: Select all

| [ ] fetch Information about the fetch, the request and how the receiver will treat the response.

By the way: here is a vertical list of NoScript options, if the above '<code></code>' tags are formatted badly:
__((S) DEFAULT )______________________________________________________________________________

| [ ] script.............Provides special properties and methods for execution of <script> elements
| [ ] object............HTML Objects (for manipulating the layout and presentation of <object> element)

So, what do you think? What is your opinion? Should such a change be implemented? In my opinion: yes. It could make NoScript more friendly. Especially for an inexperienced Users...
Thanks, best regards.
