The group box HIG has been updated after discussion on the HIG mailing list. Using a \
group box with the 'flat' property set true is now recommended; it provides a \
consistent way to use spacing to group visual elements without the line-y, boxy noise \
of a visible frame. If you used group boxes here and followed this new guidance you \
should get the visual design you're aiming for with more consistent spacing.
Hope this helps!

break-word;">This is a series of UI updates I've applied to the powerdevil KCMs. \
You can find them as individual patch series in the sebas/kcmupdates branch.
General:
- Less icon usage, especially in the form layouts
- Title casing throughout
- Better HIG compliance (not 100%, but improved)
- Energy Saving / Actions UI now scales with dialog
- Proper usage of FormLayouts
- A bunch of cleanups of dead code
- Parenting fixes
In Detail:
* Improve Advanced Settings page
- Use a QFormLayout, and do it properly
- Fix up spacing and alignment
- Remove icons before titles
- Use Title Case for Labels
- Shorter labels for better readability
* Clean up brightness-OSD-related dead code
* Make powerdevil actions layout stretch out horizontally
* Compile-time connections in actionconfigwidget
* widget and layout parenting fixes
* No bold font, increased spacing instead
This removes the bold fonts from the checkboxes, as that is non-standard
in the HIG. In order to make it look a bit more structured between the
sections, a bit of spacing is added.
* Remove icons from actions
The icons are really small and add more visual noise than being useful.
* Streamline Comments of KCMs
* Clean up dead code</pre>
