PenpaLite Mode

[swaroopg92]

Advance vs Basic Display Mode:

• Phase 1: Based on Tab settings show only selected Modes (in progress)
• Phase 2: More detailed choices that also reduces SubModes/Styles (No Idea yet, how to better implement it) [*Least Priority]

Phase 1 released on ver 2.25.17

Additional idea related to the new "constraints" mode for specific puzzle types:

Setting a constraint could also auto-mark some tab options, so that the solver then gets the limited options as well. E.g. Slitherlink auto-marks "composite loop".

(might be better for a separate issue, happy to make one if so)

@gavrielhirsch Thanks for the idea. I would have agreed but the reason I didn't do that is that for many types the tab options while creating are different than for solving. So I wanted the author to know what he is signing up for (i.e. Want him to specifically make a choice for tab settings). Keeping things separate also allows the author to change settings while setting and then finally change for solver purposes.
A lot of new users are not aware of tab and stuff, so if it automatically gets selected behind the screens they might not understand what's happening. Especially since I have kept the PenpaLite mode to be automatically activated when there are Tab settings.
This is also the reason why I don't automatically turn on the Border setting for XV or different constraints. Instead, I display an Info message for that, so that the user is aware of the functionality and what it does.
I hope this makes sense, happy to discuss more :)
