Attached image current screenshot (deleted) —
The section headings in the metro prefs panel are currently unstyled; they look just like the other text in the panel (see attached screenshot). We should choose a heading font to make these stand out more. Also, we should remove the redundant "Preferences" heading (there are two of them). Yuan or Stephen, do you want to specify styles for this? Or I can just start by making the font bold and slightly larger...

Sam, can you take this bug when you get your development environment set up? If we don't have specs from our designers yet, you could start by copying some of the font styles already used elsewhere in the Metro theme.

This might be an interim measure depending on how the visual and interaction of this screen ends up. I ended up using descendant selectors to target the labels. I could have built the box > vbox > etc. child chain but it seemed needlessly ugly and brittle for a low-traffic area of the UI? There is another a level of heirarchy already present in setting.group and setting.subgroup that seems to be treated differently - I didn't touch that. The goal was a fieldset-like treatment where the settings group titles a left-aligned with the other labels but diminished visually, with their child settings indented.
