There are a few lists in preferences with control buttons: add, remove, edit, move up, move down. As they are using deprecated stock items, it would be a great time to update them.
After looking how modern GTK3 programs are implementing buttons below lists, I found some examples.
GNOME Text Editor (gedit) is using icons for add and remove:

GNOME Files has ordering buttons (move up, move down) with arrow icons:

Would similar solution be good enough for Sunflower, or should we include additional text labels? Are icons on buttons necessary when we already have text labels?

Whole preferences window needs to be redesigned. I didn't even touch it yet. Am leaving it as is on purpose until I decide upon a uniform structure and looks. What you have linked looks good and I planned on having similar layout but I want to get main window up and working properly before I dedicate myself to preferences as they are not really something people look at all the time.
