<p>Is it possible to still allow editing the preferences, but to put a "warning" icon next to the preference to tell the user that the setting <em>is</em> overridden? Like "Warning: this setting is overridden in the project preferences and will not have effect" or such.</p>
<p>If you actually want to change the normal preference, it would be annoying to have to close the project, tick the checkbox, and then re-open the project, IMO.</p>
