Or they appear/disappear immediately? If they stick around I'd indeed have to check why the state isn't recomputed on the updateSettings call... > F8117881: grafik.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F8117881> > >> a setting which is currently dirty or which differs from default value. > > What is your idea behind this? After first seeing this patch my intuition was that it would show for unsaved changes. But then I was confused when I open a SettingsDialog that there were already marks even though I changed nothing! I would expect them only for unsaved changes, I don't know how other platforms handle this if they have something similiar? Currently it helps the user find out the unsaved changes (the least useful in some way, or your immediate memory is not good) but it also helps the user find out which of her settings differ from the default values (and that's indeed something you will forget over time and wonder "why the hell is the defaults button enabled"). Hope the extra context helps.
