--- Alternative 3 --- The custom DP setting is mainly implemented through change/remove buttons in the settings tab, with a preview only if a custom DP is set (same behavior as the custom color). The user DPs tab contains a "selector" dpbrowser with the cached DPs, with preview and buttons to "set as my DP", "copy" and "set as custom", for quick choice. Pros: * custom DP consistent with other "custom" settings * Full featured dpbrowser for custom DP selection * Possibility of a quick chice from the cache Cons: *? could this generate some conflict?
