Hi! Also, considering that TW already has a backstage mechanism for setting options (Tweak and/or Options from AdvancedOptionsPlugin (1)), it would be nice if such a mechanism were enabled for SystemSettings. It could be added as a tab to existing options, where you could add a tick to make it cookie dependent and/or set the actual default value.
