Unfortunately, we are trying to minimize the amount of "junk" config items, so the margins for the folderscription tooltip are hardcoded.

hehe ... no. Only thing is, we are facing the fact that we made the gallery with too many settings. Some are very important, while others mean absolutely next to nothing, and they are bloating the gallery. On top of it all, for each little setting, the gallery is being put in jeopardy of loosing its conformity - We are responsible for all these config items to work together in symbiosis! I guess I'm thinking a little in terms of the Apple-mentality - less is more.

As you put it this way, its obvious are seeing it from a design perspective and that I can appreciate! There are enough people who just want a knob for everything to dismantle the gallery.

The way I saw it, sufficient margin on a tooltip never hurt anyone, so I added it like that. Isn't it a little tricky to bind it to the main menu, which many might like minimal? OF course, if you are insistent, I might need to add a specific setting ...

This option will be available in tomorrow's update release.
