> How do you think we can show all attributes from the PS in the CS organizer?

*I* don't think about it. I try to avoid UI questions ;) because I know that
it's can of worms. I just told you facts. Still, you might look at other apps
with *complex* UI, for inspiration how they approached similar issues.

One of such apps that I know was Symantec Antivirus. It was a centrally managed
product, and a sysadmin could lock any setting in it, at which time, a lock
icon appeared in the user's dialog for that setting (see e.g.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxbZYG7eh14 at 1:20).

Indeed, we are not talking about locking here; but IMO, despite the strong wish
to keep the UI simple and "native", the *inherent* complexity of our style
management is such, that simply *cannot* be expressed adequately without
similar visual clues.

I don't quite understand this.
