Hurray! And I just re-read my comment and had more thoughts *eyeroll*
I love the functionality of being able to disable enhancements, but "enhancement" does seem to me a bit of a technical term... is there a plainer-english way of describing the js animations you're talking about? "disable layout animations on this page"?
Of course, it doesn't say "enhancements", it says "effects" (*facepalm*) - but my point is the same "effects" doesn't communicate clearly what you mean here either - it could refer to the collapsibility of the sections, not just the animation while it happens.
Also, looking at this on my tiny 13 inch macbook screen with the text zoomed (vs the big iMac I was looking at it on at work), there does seem to be a lot of whitespace around each element (and the left and right margins, to boot) that seems to make the whole use of space on the first screen kind of inefficient. I would even suggest less whitespace between the elements in the sidebar - maybe making it like one long menu that accordion-expands rather than island-like elements?
Thank you :) UI is definitely my passion, and I'm used to working with developers (and hand-coding my own front-ends), so hit me up!
ETA: Also in my mockup, I think it'd also work well (better, even) if the "Entry status" was the first item in the sidebar, and the crossposting settings go below the entry field. But, yeah. *hands* On the one hand, I like the all the options are in the sidebar on WP; on the other hand, I'm used to certain key settings being below the entry field when I post on DW.
