--[[User: | : The Global Account Settings should probably reflect the settings available that each account could override (and yes, should be on top of the list). Thus, it would (may?) follow the structure of the regular accounts, but modify the defaults inherited by any account which did not explicitly set them. Those can be overridden in the corresponding account-specific tabs, where some mechanism would be needed to identify those boxes where the global setting is taken versus those which were modified for this specific preference. Window size: The Account Settings are larger already than the Options window, so that's probably ok. The concern is how many buttons and menus are acceptable before it's getting confusing for the user. --[[User:Rsx11m|Rsx11m]] 15:20, 16 August 2008 (UTC) | ||
