You can change that by modifying the resources/ui_layout/print.ui file. If you succeed to get a better layout, I'll merge it.

This is my print.ui updated for the latest "Spacing edition". A work-in-progress and occasionally changed as I set and forget some settings. I did a global insert "simple" into all settings, changed the settings used once or rarely to expert, and then change some occasionally to advanced if I think they are not used very often. The widths are set for a 27in 4k monitor with non-modal gui. with the settings window at about 40% of the screen width. For each update I grep to cleanly extract and sort all the settings in this file and the updated version and take a difference to find any new settings. print.ui.zip

Everything looks like this here

The issue is translation and your Italian has different length words / expressions to English. There is also a correction I will do in the Extras and Overhangs as I missed a few widths in this latest version. Probably the default layout has lots of flexibility in widths that work across different languages. I prefer to have a cleaner layout that suits the way I think when I create and test profiles and that requires settings with lots of fixed widths. Access to the UI is a fantastic feature of Superslicer.

If you like this layout I could do an Italian version - it shouldn't take too long - mainly fixing a few widths, and maybe splitting a few lines if the text is too long.

A bit of fiddling with widths and font spacing. Might be easier with a mono spaced font but that is not available and maybe cause other problems. Best to let supermerril focus on fixing bugs at the moment.

Feedback on layout and grouping of settings appreciated - obviously different to the default.

On my screen.

Is this any good? I could do a bit more polish if you want but it fixes the obvious changes for Italian. italian_print.ui.zip

I honestly use the expert tab and I feel good with the stock organization of it.
