There's OmniPreferences in OmniAppKit, which is pretty decent.
Personally I hate this style of preferences - it is very difficult to
use compared with tabs, a popup menu, scrolling list/outline view or
even horizontal scrolling icons as Project Builder uses. The
others have the added advantage that they're easier to implement,
too. :)
