Hmm, Michael, I understand you here, but I think that the main drawback
about application-wide (so possibly run-time only) is about losing
design-time magic. For example when you have 10 panels, go change some
design-time property and they changed their view all at once without even
running anything. If they're form-only and design-time, you still can
imitate application-wide defaults inheriting from common ancestor and
placing all you defaults there, but you will keep this magic at your fingers
