Jo,
This is certainly nothing terribly important. But I figured it's possible it may be easy for you to implement (if you wish).
When an unskinned VST (for example, the mda plugs) is loaded in MU.LAB, the settings for the plug are in a long vertical list.
I was wondering if it could be made so that if there were, say, 20 parameters on a plug that MU.LAB would display it as 4x5 instead of the 20 straight down, meaning that you have to scroll up and down to access the settings. The scrolling is a minor inconvinience, but it would be so very nice to be able to see and access all the plugs settings in it's nxn 'box'.

cool, I was just thinking that the other day, and there are many great plugins with no gui out there, so I think this would be a major improvement 
In the future there will be robots!

It may be a good idea to be able to just resize the window, both horizontally and vertically, and let MuLab automatically reposition the knobs so that they fit.

That's indeed a good idea.
But for dev resource management reasons, lets keep the new M3 system which uses the square root of the number of parameters to divide the parms horizontally/verically:
If a vst plug (without own gui) would have too many parms to fit on the screen, MU.LAB will add scrollbars, and you'll also be able to easily pan the editor using the MMB/RMB (cfr all other editors in M3).
