Status: Included in version 1.4.0

I noticed that the capitalisation of initial letters around the program differ somewhat. Sometimes the initial letter of each word is capitalised ("Complete Participation", "BB Code Export"), but most often only the first word's initial letter is capitalised ("Reward situations", "Automatically correct errors").

It's probably best to only use one form for each title type, so which should it be? I have a feeling that the first form is the one more often used around in menus and short titles, but the second form seems better for the long configuration names (compare "Maximum Participation Gap Size (Minutes)" with "Maximum participation gap size (minutes)").

The second format is more grammatically correct, for what that's worth.

The first letter capitalisation format is appropriate for naming things with a title (DKP Log Parser), as opposed to describing things (one of many DKP based log parsers).

So your summary seems right: dialog boxes could have a title with all first letters capitalised, but individual config items shouldn't have 'em...
