> The differencesQToolBox replaced by QCollapsibleGroupBox(es).
>
> *before*
>
>    - a lot of wasted space
>    - unpractical (you must toggle back and forth to edit elements on
>    different pages)
>    - not very good looking (it looks messy and it's hard to distinguigh
>    from QDockWindowss)
>
> *after*
>
>    - QgsCollapsibleGroupBoxes look great and provide a nice outline of
>    all features when folded
>    - Easier to adapt to your needs and screen size
>
> QToolBox replaced by QCollapsibleGroupBox(es).
>
>    - so you can dynamically reposition/resize the items without having to
>    open a modal dialog.
>    - also provides a nice feedback on element's position
>
> Harmonisation and optimisation of widget layouts
>
>    - most of the widgets had uneven spacing (looked a bit sketchy)
>    - some widgets where uselessly big
>    - better hiearchy and grouping of similar options
>
> Duplicate/Ambigious/Unclear functionalities
>
>    - QgsComposerShape had duplicate implemtation of frame and background
>
> Changes
>
> The work was mainly done in the .ui files, but some classes are a little
> more modified :
>
>    - QgsComposerShape (clean duplicate frame/background implementation)
>    - QgsItemPositionDialog was merged into QgsComposerItemWidget, which
>    also makes some change
>
> Screenshots

> Here are screenshots of all modified widgets :

> Todo

>    - I think it would be nice to integrate the atlas' widget into the
>    composition's widget
>    - It would be nice if there was a collapse/expand all button (or a
>    shortcut (alt-click ?) to collapse all other QgsCollapsibleBoxes)
>    - Use color buttons wherever possible
>
> So...
