[GNC] Possible to Set and Save an Individual Register's Default Style?

[Kalpesh Patel]

Probably all the elements of the entire view should be saved. It is better to over-save then to under-save. Thinking of MS Registry hives here ...

I normally implement something like this in my coding: set sane default value to element1; read config file and if config file has the setting for elelemt1 then set elemet1 to that; rinse-and-repeat

This allows a seasoned person to tweak only necessary elements of their choosing.

If you are going to propose a button to save account register display style, I would suggest also [optionally] saving the sort order and column settings.
