It seems changes to deskbar settings aren't saved to disk anymore. At least
for me, it resets to default settings on each reboot.
Try this:
* change some settings (bigger icons, enable expando mode, etc
* hey Deskbar quit
* Team Monitor > restart the desktop
For me Deskbar goes back to default settings.
Also, the Preferences window lacks a revert button. (not your fault, it was
not there before either). Since the revert button should revert settings to
the state they were when the window was shown, it may actually be simpler to
destroy and recreate it each time. The state of the window is derived from
the settings, so it's easy to recreate when opening the window again, right ?
The BBox around the controls should be removed, and I also think that using
tabs would be better when there are so few items with single-word names. The
list on the side wastes space.
