Hello,

At the moment, the "Show all settings" filter is all or nothing.

Whilst trying to tune the behaviour of the start menu recently, I really only needed to use about 3 of the 14 tabs, and it got quite confusing remembering which ones to go back and forth from.

How about a more granular settings filter, rather than a checkbox, as illustrated by the attached?

Thanks for considering,

Dave

Its actually quite easy once you start using the search feature :P

The only time it's confusing is when you have *too many* tabs.

The idea for skin editing is to filter the tabs that have a cross-over with skin settings, such as:

- Skin
- Menu Look
- Start Menu Style
- Windows 10 Settings
- General Behavior

I only suggest this as I'm attempting to build a new skin at the moment and I'm spending a lot of time jumping to and from these tabs, trying to get the look just right.

Search is certainly useful, but it's perfectly possible to improve the UI a little more.

If you resize the window wide enough to bring all the tabs on a single row, then maybe it might be less confusing? :)
