Building config using Interface Options Addons Panel

I'm trying to make a config using this tutorial.

Works great so far, but I wonder if you are able to scale the actual frame, to have some more space.
The default size is way too small and I have some trouble to bring my options in while keeping a clear overview.

Does anybody know what I have to do to change the size? I'm really sure I saw this in an addon, but can't remember which one.

And I really don't want to build a custom frame, I like it included in the general options.

Any help would be appreciated!

You could use a scrollframe so that users can scroll down to view the rest of your options, or you could split some of your options off into a child panel (sub-category).

If you are talking about making that frame bigger .. I know (Lib) BetterBlizzOptions is doing this, which is included in e.g. Sexymap, Skinner, and Chatter

Personally I'd agree with Seerah's suggestion, because enlarging the frame will mess up the interface-options-panel of other addons

Subcategories are already used...

Specifically I'm talking about options of an oUF-layout.

There's a "General"-tab which includes various options to toggle certain functionalities, a "Positions"-tab to adjust the frames positions and a "Buff-Filter"-tab, which is the main problem.

I have 8+ different types of filters to adjust and I'm thinking of a good way to make this usable.

I'm thinking of a table with 8+ columns, representing the different filters and the rows representing the buffs/debuffs to be filtered. There's not enough space...

Yeah, I'll try to do more tabs...
