-\overview{Overview}{constraintsoverview}
+There are two different systems for layouting windows (and dialogs in particluar).
+One is based upon so-called sizers and it requires less typing, thinking and calculating
+and will in almost all cases produce dialogs looking equally well on all platforms, the
+other is based on so-called constraints and allows for more detailed layouts.
