This sounds like an idea for an interface and usability panel or committee. Would it be a helpful starting point if I screenshot what folks are talking about and then rearrange it how it would look in my world? I think some of the struggle we face in preferences now is from there still being a One Koha To Bind Them All in the stead of modules that are specific to different Library types. Yes, I do realise that I don't have any money for building modules, but it won't stop me from thinking that different preset out of the box skins and preference set ups would save a lot of user and vendor time in the long run.
I appreciate you all for at least talking about it. It's part of what makes us different from ye olde proprietary vendors. :)
Cheers,
Brooke
