Description

GNOME have a Human Interface Guidelines.

It seems that Drawing does not follow the GNOME [writing style](https://developer.gnome.org/hig/guidelines/writing-style.html).

>**Header Capitalization**
>
> Header capitalization should be used for any headings, including headings in header bars, tab titles, and view titles.
> It should also be used for short control labels that do not normally form proper sentences, such as button labels, switch labels and menu items.

I may try and correct these issues, but there are both pros and cons to consider.
- Pros: we would be able to comply GNOME HIG.
- Cons: this involve a lot of string changes and translation work.

**Checklist**
- [ ] Headings
- [ ] Headings in header bars
- [ ] Tab titles
- [ ] View titles
- [ ] Button labels
- [ ] Switch labels
- [ ] Menu items
