gufw new version height is too big
My netbook, I use up and now, has a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.
I upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 and found out your gufw app is now bigger that my screen height. Completely unusable. Same shit as Windows 8 requirements.
Can you please fix the height, so that it fits back again?
Good software should work with 640x480 VGA resolution. Never, ever make a unresizeable dialog that is bigger than 640x480 pixels. Allow users to resize down at least to 640x480. Take into consideration also the window manager title head and border.
How on the Earth you come with the idea to make the dialog so big? In your web page screenshot it looks so small and nice.
Other than this, a nice app.

I am not sure how to attach images here. I uploaded them to an external site and I am posting the links below.
First image (real size height 600 pixels):
http://
http://
As you can see I cannot (easy) tell what goes on in the bottom of the screen.
Are there more buttons or is there something important?
Second image (real size of all my screen 1024 x 600):
http://
http://
This is same image as above (scaled down), with measurement rules in Gimp.
As you see Gimp is more complex, but it runs mostly ok on my resolution.
Thank you for your quick answer. Hope this will help.
By the way while making the screenshots, I clicked the edit button for rule, it said you cannot edit a rule added from ufw. Then I by mistake clicked the - (minus) button. It deleted the rule without asking me to confirm. Now I do not know which rule I deleted by mistake. It would be nice if the program would ask to confirm, whether I really want to delete a rule.

Hi! Thanks for your screenshots!! They are really useful.
I'll try to fix, but it's complicate with the current layout.
I created a bug for this:

If I can do it, I'll need your help for testing purposes :)
There is another bug about the confirmation dialog for deleting a rule ;)

Thanks!

Thank you, I answered to the bug what I tried. May be using multiple tabs would be easier for the UI, than the panels.
An idea for the future. As an end-user, I would really want to see a UI around something like this http://

Yes, you're right. Please, look this bug too:
https:/
It's complicate now and I'd like Gufw just like an interface to ufw :)
Best regards and thanks for all your feedback ppp.
