I have no problems with the layout, it looks good...
Maybe Revert should be greyed if a global file doesn't exist, and ask for confirmation.
We currently have no way to get that confirmation :-( e.g. the simple_dialog will not wait for user input until return. I have experimented a bit some weeks ago, to get something like this backporting from the GtkMessageDialog from GTK2,
but failed to do so.

There is no easy way to revert to the global filters without it.
Except deleting the colorfilters file ;-)

Global filters was a requested feature.
I can see some benefit in this, but this makes the UI even more compilcated :-(

Would you like to do the "Cancel should undo all changes" feature while you're there?

To be honest no.

My highest priority is now to get rid of the very ugly capture/display filter dialogs first. And that will be a lot of work I fear.
