Description
In the rush to finish everything for 3.10 we didn't have enough time to polish the UI. We should improve it more for 3.10.

- Jabber accounts should use user-status-available-symbolic for the icon (since they are generic)
- Maybe it should say XMPP and not Jabber?
- Needs more (12px ?) padding above the Chat switch
- "Use for" and "Chat" should be vertically aligned
- "Edit Connection Parameters..." > "Connection Settings"
- "Edit Personal Details..." > "Personal Details"

- It would be much better to have these fields
- "Edit Connection Parameters" > "Connection Settings"
- Text fields should be wider (about 280px)
- Add more padding above the password field (maybe just 6px)
- "Remember password" > "Remember Password"
- Do you really need the clear button in the password field? If yes, please use edit-clear-symbolic for the icon
- I dread to think what's under Advanced Settings ;)
- Needs extra padding (12px) below Advance Settings

- "Edit Personal Details" > "Personal Details"
- Would benefit from an explanation at the top: "These details will be shared with other users on this chat network"
- Use title case for field labels
- Use edit-clear-symbolic for the clear button icon
- Needs more padding above the Cancel/OK buttons - add 12px

- I'm worried that we're overloading this list. Will this be revisited next cycle?

- Why is the layout different from connection settings? Lots of alignment issues here - would be fixed by following the connections settings layout.
- Odd phrasing in labels, eg. "What is your Jabber ID?"
- "Log In" > "Add"
