Sketch for a new settings screen

(numbers are invented)Less settings exposed directly: tidier, larger, harder to make silly gamesEconomy settings show the real valuesSettings better explainedLess experienced comms have a set of defaults to choose from (including maybe stuff like "Commander practice")Easier to spot silly settings (never forget low connectivity or friendly fire on again!)"Newbie" game support (the 'join limit' slider gets stuck on that setting)Only beef I have with this design is I couldn't fit the map size (small/big).

EDIT: Please notice this is not a skin. Just a sketch I quickly threw together with Open Office. Requires code change if is to be implemented.

You could move the map change menu so its next to the Map choice subtitle, then you can fit the map size underneath the preview screens, or just nudge it to the left and fit Map Size next to it

Rather, "Map choice:" goes down the map selection and becomes "Map size:", with a dropdown to the side.
