That was really annoying for me as well.
What about something like "LEFT cancels, RIGHT applies and backs out, SELECT applies and stays in the menu" without any splashes at all?
Keeps the one-click option for those who use it without any new settings.

if there is a file /.rockbox/user_menu.config a new menu item will apear at the top of the main menu called "User Menu"!
this lets you have your own favorites there, and can be any menu item that can be reachable from the main menu.

WOW!
That's amazing. I have to try this out right now. I'll try to make this menu available in my record button configuration patch so that iriver users can have one button access to this menu.

putting ~ at the begining of any setting will force that value to be written back when settings are saved, even if the actual value is different...
i.e
~volume = -33 will never save any other value except -33 to volume, you will be ablw to change the value, but it will always be -33 in the config file.
I added this because i am sick of blowing my ears off when i turn on the player and forget i had it on full volume, so this forces it to always start at a sane level. (you are allowed 16 of these values)

I don't know if I understand this correctly, but does that mean that these default values get loaded at every boot?

*Thumbs up*
I know that this should be discussed later, but I just had an idea I want to get rid off.
The only problem I see is, that when a user presses SELECT and backs out with LEFT afterwards the setting gets cancelled, which might not be what he wanted. So I would say that when you have pressed SELECT, the settings was applied already, so going out with both LEFT and RIGHT should make no difference.
Or we could make both RIGHT and LEFT apply settings and leave; and only use STOP to cancel. That would be reasonable for a newbe, too. If he fears to have done something wrong, he would press STOP anyway (I would do).
Llorean:
I think that the idea was "Left leaves the setting where the checkmark is visibly" which would mean that if you moved the checkmark with 'Select' then "backed out" the setting would still hold.
