Robert,
I believe the mock you made for the main properties deserves a separate topic because it is a bit different from "Make BiaB more GUI configurable".

Secondly, some folks are happy with main UI, but might support main preference menu overhaul. I've seem some threads revived from years ago. For example, if PGM would give some long overdue love to main UI by the end of the year, second topic on "preferences" would still be relevant.
