New patch: Settings Display Within Menus. DONE!

Ok it seems that the margin or no margin issue is font dependant. For now I hard coded an additional 1px right margin for aligned text, meaning for some fonts there'll be a 2px margin to the right. Perhaps it's ok to leave it like this but I'd prefer if there where some better way to do this...

Yotto:
That looks pretty cool.  I can't wait to try this "in the field."

As to the margins, I imagine that you can't do much about the font.  I mean, how are you, as the program, going to know if the font has a border of whitespace around the letters?  I think it'll be far more noticable (and far worse looking) to have it be sometimes 1px and sometimes 0px, than for it to be sometimes 2px and sometimes 1px.

IOW, my vote is to force a 1px margin.

I like it.  I can't test it on my Nano, but I like the idea and the screenshots.

AM:
Actually, the more I think about it, the less I like the current fix with a forced 1px margin to the right. Some fonts have no margin to the left, so then you end up having 0px to the left and 1px to the right. Worst case scenario: font has no margin to the left, but 1px to the right - then you've got 2 empty pixels to the right and none to the left!  :(

And working around this by just forcing an additional 1px margin to the left will screw up the scrolling. When the text starts scrolling it wont disappear behind the left edge of the screen or behind the scrollbar, it'll disappear 1 pixel away from it. So which would be worse; text that only has margins sometimes, or text that magically disappears 1px away when scrolling?

Yotto:
I'd have to see it, but I'd guess the 1px margin that magically stays through scrolling would be better.
If you have room for them, margins can only be a good thing.
