Bug Description
vineyard has so much to offer it can seem overwhelming at first. I propose these UI changes; see attached mockups.
The bottle menu is wide because it has to be. Since it's big "Wine Prefix" can be appended to the current bottle's name with space to spare.
Tabs need to go. If something requires a tab, it deserves a sidebar shortcut instead. Without tabs the information is easier to read.
Sidebar shortcuts should be:
General
-Includes same options as well as Places (before called Places>Folders)
Appearance
-Should display what was before Appearance>Windows
Theme
-Should display what was before Appearance>Theme
Drives
-Should display what was before Places>Drives.
Graphics
-Should display what was before Devices>Graphics
Sound
-Should display what was before Devices>Sound

Oh and I made some minor changes to the bottom right buttons. Most if not all of the other preference applications have Close as the most bottom right button.
