update to r14423. Question: is the info part for the individual grf still sufficiently large?

fixed a small one-off error in the widget sizes, avoiding pixel trails when moving the window to the left. Otherwise unchanged.

What a great improvement! The NewGRF-Window is so uncomfortable, especially if you want to add a lot of NewGRFs!
Please keep up the good work with it :)

update to r15084 and a slight change in the button layout which is now a tiny bit more like the existing NewGRF UI

Questions to the devs: is it desirable to have an advanced setting to toggle between use of this new gui and the existing?

Sorry for the spam. I played around with this widget arrangements, especially testing a small size of this window, taking the game main menu as a reference for that. I think I could improve the layout quite a bit. See the attached screenshots for an impression how it looks like.

The two diff files are for r15256 and differ as follows:
v1 is the layout with two seperate file infos (newgrf_gui_320.png)
v2 is the layout with a unified file info (newgrf_gui_v2_320l.png, newgrf_gui_v2_normal.png)

newgrf_gui_v2_normal is the usual, un-resized window

I think the new (v2) layout has also in normal mode an advantage over the design as it was before: longer descriptions are now nearly always completely displayed due to the longer line length available for the text strings.

In r19829-r19845 the NewGRF gui got changed, much inspired by the proposals in this issue. Thanks go to planetmaker for his efforts.
What remains to be done here is checking whether the patch attached here has useful extras that can be ported to trunk.
