Thanks for your feedback @DrPaulSharp. The space above I considered adding a separate tab for the background options, as it is still quite cluttered, but it proved challenging because of how fiddly the designer app is... or my lack of patience to cope with its fiddliness... I could give it another shot. |

NICE job of tightening the UI!! I generally hate tabs which is why we only had 2 but I think in this case it really does call for a 3rd.
My only quibble here is that we should move the background to be the second tab since that will almost always need to be used. The options that are left are mostly fine left alone EXCEPT the weight factor which is a bit awkward. It really is a fudge factor multiplying the error bar factor (tsk tsk -- but seems to be needed for SAXS data in particular.
The only two options I see would be to move it to the "distribution parameters" on the front page (the only place with some space .. next to contrast) or as a separate box on background. Plenty of space there but has nothing to do with background.
So bottom line, if we move the background tab to be the second tab we are good. The only other thing might be to move the weight factor to "parameters" but it really should sit inside the weighting box. So I'd leave it for now unless somebody else has a better idea?
Thanks for your review @butlerpd! I could move the weight factor to the bottom of the weighting. I thought it was related to |sqrt (1 Data)|, so I put them together.
What do you think? |

Actually, You were correct to start with that the weight factor basically is a multiplication of whatever "error bar" you choose to use. So I think the original positioning was better. Also it doesn't gain us anything to move it to a different place in that box. What I was trying to do was move all the things that a user almost always has to touch into the first two tabs. That way people only touch two tabs most of the time. Unfortunately it seems that the error bars (however you choose them) are often too tight which is why the "weight factor" gets touched quite frequently as I understand it. No worries. I see the background tab is moved up which is the easy thing we can do for now. I think it better to move the weight factor back to its original position but otherwise good to merge |

This includes reorganisation, renaming and removal of UI elements wherever necessary.
Will update screenshots in documentation once UI changes have been reviewed and finalised.
