Expanded Appearance Studio with reliable, name-first custom preset creation from Classic defaults, live preset swatches, rename and delete controls, and stable preset persistence.
Custom presets now remain selected while editing and save dial-icon and dial-screen colours back to the same reusable template. Existing controls retain their previously saved appearance when a template changes or is deleted.
Built-in presets now clearly show per-control changes as Modified and restore those saved changes when revisited in the same Studio session.
Simplified Dial Icon customization to icon and background colours only, with consistent preset selection and colour Reset behavior.
Corrected Refresh Libraries Dial prompts so PRESS TO SCAN uses the configured Plex/label colour and PRESS TO CANCEL uses the scanning/danger colour.
Fixed preset state ordering and overlapping settings saves that could cause custom presets to disappear or briefly show stale colours.
