[opensource-dev] Request for feedback - Preferences Cleanup

[Trilo Byte]

Worth pointing out that in the Mac client, there are some formatting issues with build 214349.

1) Right edge of preference tab buttons appear to extend a couple pixels over the vertical divider line (see below)
2) UI Size slider on Advanced tab appears too far to the right, should be directly below the opacity slider
