(I don't think so)
It would generate (avoidable) conflict, because changes in the settings tab are applied when clicking on the OK button, while "quick choices" are instantly applied. This means that when changing the custom dp through the buttons, we should update the preview image in the settings tab. As I said, it's avoidable, but the code would maybe become a little too "hacky"...

Hmm... I agree with the "quick steal" thing... But in this case it could be better to simply use the popup menu, as it doesn't open another window (that would be, like you said, confusing), and does not even require to select the image (just right-clicking on it). I'm thinking, we could even change the "Set as my display picture" text to "Steal this display picture", that would explain perfectly the action (and the moral issue behind the "just grab that awesome avatar that took my friend hours to craft and pretend it's mine" :D ) Anyway, I'm now going to implement Alternative 2 (that should be enough well-accepted), but I'm going also to comment old code instead of deleting it; this way, if another alternative is pointed to be better, it will be easy to implement it by relying on the already existing code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
