I\'ve given the dialog a little breathing space so it\'s not all shoved together, and I\'ve also aligned your controls so that the left/right/top/bottom borders line up on your dialog. It might sound fussy, but something simple like lining up your controls makes a world of difference to the presentation of your dialog.

I\'m not saying it\'s perfect, but I think it\'s a lot less cluttered and more organised. It\'s up to you whether you use it or not but hopefully you\'ll be able to see the improvements I\'ve made.
