The default is chosen, when you set nothing, i.e. delete the LCLWidgetType macro
from the list.

The "default" was only shown in the IDE. Internally it was always the empty
string. But an empty string was confusing in the comboxbox, so a "default" was
shown instead.

Yes.

The LCLWidgetType is now a normal package macro and you can provide a list of
values for such macros, but you can not add comments to values.



AFAIK the old notes (alpha, beta, deprecated) did not help much. To choose a
widgetset a developer need a list like
