Buttons
- Cancel: dismiss the settings draft. Preference import or reset actions that already completed are not undone.
- Save: persist all changes from all tabs.
Notes
- The dialog is a movable, resizable frame.
- Edits across tabs accumulate as a draft. Save commits them all atomically.
- All preference changes apply immediately on save (no restart required).
- App appearance and workspace background are separate settings. Saving either one does not change the other.
