Google Code-in

There are still many apps doing 'manual layouting'. Your task is to rewrite those parts of the code to use the layout management that Haiku introduced a few years back.

Pick any app from the HaikuArchives that needs this layout makeover.

Depending on the complexity of the application, this can turn out to be a fairly demanding task that requires basic C++ knowledge.

Submit your work as pull-request of your fork on github. Additionally, upload screenshots of the app running with a font size of 8 and 24 (set in Appearance preferences).
