Some of you have reported misclicks between the "Save game" and "Exit game" buttons. So, I have added a confirmation dialog to the "Exit game" button. I have also redesigned the layout of the Options window; comments are welcome. Here's a screenshot:

I am not keen on the mix of icons and text, it would be much better if they were all text.

I much prefer the vertical layout we have right now. Maybe more space between the icons solves this already?

We need more width, not more height. If you undo the last commit in the branch, you will wee how stretched the buttons look with the old design and increased width.

well, good job. I could also comment about what would be the optimal graphical layout for me, but I don''t want to look like i'm complaining.

Please do comment. I'd like to get this right while I'm at it. SirVer has suggested going back to the old layout and he gave me a hint on how to solve the size problem for the confirmation dialog. So, I will explore that option next. Busy indexing nil values

Oh, well, then I personally prefer to have writings, not icons, on the various options, soo i'd rather on the save game button was written save game instesd of having an icon. but that's just my personal preference, and my personal preferences aren't necessarily those of the majority.

I called a moratorium on this redesign for now. While I do like it as such, it is not orthogonal with the rest of the in-game menu design. The style would fit better in the editor. It might be nice to mimic the Statistics Menu, but we don't have images for all the buttons. Thanks everyone for your input
