[Bf-taskforce25] Mockup note

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi William,

For nice aligned layouts it would work better to more strictly separate 
button values (numbers, menu options, settings) from their labels. This 
would also make buttons a bit smaller, and solve readability for 
sliders. Text color for labels then can also be consistant. 
Translations get more space too.

In your mockup some buttons have labels next to it, others don't. The 
location of such labels is also something the layout engine could take 
care of (and even can retrieve from RNA). We have to prevent inserting 
our own label texts in the python UI scripts, that will make 
translation quite a problem.

Compare this for example:

They do this quite consistantly, only tool buttons get their entire 
text inside, which makes sense.
