Created attachment 7694 Screenshot of Session and Startup settings Distribution: Xubuntu 18.04 Package: xfce4-settings 4.12.3-0ubuntu1 The current interface of Settings is mouse driven with many sections filled with checkboxes and sliders. It doesn't have old Appy/OK interface and also makes any changes effective immediately. Sometimes when browsing settings it is very easy to accidentally toggle/turn any slider and change any sensitive settings. But there is no way of knowing the former state of the button/slider/checkbox to change it back and we have to depend on our best guesses. Sometimes unintentional changes go unnoticed and later create undesired behaviours. So please consider- A. Adding an option/way to restore the default settings in every possible section of Setting app and where it isn't possible introduce Apply/OK button. Or, B. Introduce Apply/OK button in every section of Setting app.

I'm also a little bit complainant for mistakenly changing the current settings, but on the other hand, I love the flexibility of seeing the results of changes that I made immediately. As another idea, to not to lose this functionality and having an option to change back the changes, there can be a button to "reset to the previous configuration".
"As another idea, to not to lose this functionality and having an option to change back the changes, there can be a button to "reset to the previous configuration"." The last attachment contains such an example.
didn't notice it, my bad, sorry :)
No why sorry! Your idea is good, thanks! Though I probably couldn't express myself properly but in the first part of my first option(A) I tried to say exactly this.
