I forgot the Config dialog. I think we could create a new Fonts page. 
Then the font previewer would have more space. The Languages would have 
nothing but the book name language selector right now, but as has been 
suggested before, we could allow changing the UI language, too.

I have written a suggestion for one aspect of display windows:
http://devel.bibletime.info/wiki/Parallel_view_UI

It would help in several ways: it would make differentiating between 
windows easier. It would make the module selector buttons in the toolbar 
unnecessary.


There are already many ideas in the wiki, in the refactoring page. 
Please read it through, add comments and possibly add your own suggestions.
