You'll need to add preferences to taskcoachlib/config/defaults.py, in the 'view' section I'd guess. Then you need to allow people to edit these defaults in the preferences dialog: taskcoachlib/gui/dialog/preferences.py. I think I would add these settings to the EditorPage class. Look for the addIntegerSetting method. Next, you'll need to use the new settings in taskcoachlib/gui/dialog/editor.py: the EffortEditorBook creates the widgets, so there you can pass the settings to the DateTimeCtrl. But be aware that the DateTimeCtrl is part of the widgets package and shouldn't know anything else than wx stuff, so don't pass the whole settings object, but just the values the DateTimeCtrl would need (i.e. start time, stop time and step size).
