The preferences-in-a-tab solution is very good. I would like an enhancement for the OK/Cancel/Help buttons in Full and Lite mode. They appear below the preferences page forcing the user to scroll down after changing anything. These buttons should also appear at the top of the preferences page. Due to the screen heights on notebooks (for example 800px) the buttons below will be easily overseen by the users (increasing support questions).
Subject: Yes we are aware of this.
We have heard this from several others. We are working to change this.
