Suggestion to eliminate confusion in style overrides

Just FYI, I filed the following bug on XCode 2.0 today:

When inspecting a target build setting whose value has been set in a style, the setting's title has a strikethrough (nice idea) but regarding the value displayed, there are two problems:
1. it's enabled for editing, even though whatever you set there will not have any effect
2. even if you don't edit the value, the value shown is often NOT the value in effect in the style.

I can testify that this leads to a lot of newbie confusion.  Unless there is good reason why not, I would say that the value displayed should be the true value (the one defined in the overriding style) and should not be editable.

On May 9, 2005, at 2:47 PM, the following conversation took place

The doc sez that development builds have ZeroLink enabled by  

default, but if I GetInfo on the target, ZeroLink has a strike- 

through, and the check box is clear.  Does the style override the  

target's build setting, or don't the settings reflect what's going on?



The style does override the target setting. When the target setting  

is overridden by the style, the setting is displayed in  

strikethrough. Style settings are accessible in the Style panel of  

the info window for the Project (top) icon.
