Description Susan McCourt CLA 2012-01-22 16:33:58 EST
It is super cool how dynamic we can be setting the editor colors!  We have the technology...

But from a user point of view it is perhaps a bit too dynamic.  If I just play with the color prompter to see what it does, I probably don't realize that I've just changed the color of all my editors.  Further, I can't "restore default values." 

So for 0.4 I think we should:

- have a small live preview on the page that changes as you change the settings
- have a save button that actually commits the preference values to local storage
- have a "restore defaults" command that returns you to default values in case you realize you didn't mean to do it.

Think I've realized this much.
