Hope the mockup explains it better. :D

There was always a preview checkbox in the sidebar. :D

So the behaviour would be like this :-

Add Effect:
1) Press + button
2) Select an effect and its options

Modify Effect:
1) Select an entry in the list
2) Change the settings

> This feature with the most (user-specific) important entries would be nice. 
> But with this solution you would have no more the categories listing?

The list would be categorized based on main category, like below:

Entrance
  Fly In
  Venetian Blinds
Emphasis
  Color Blend
  Lighten

More would open up the same dialog that we see currently.

Think of it like the currently attached mockup and removing the category and
its drop down and putting the main category name in the listbox (i.e. replacing
'Basic' with 'Entrance').

> Further issues:
> In Effect Box section the distance between the heading Effect Box and the

> Transition section of the Sidebar.
> The Direction drop-down list box is higher, because of the ... button (?). 
> Is there also any possibilty to have the same height in all three drop-down
> list box lines?

Yes ideally all three should be the same height and width, though not sure if
it is achievable.
