Just deployed this to one of my sites: thoughts incoming…

On the account tab there is no note regarding SSO. While it should be obvious, it may not be to all users that their email/password isn’t changeable due to that. I’d love something explicit. Having email appear at all seems odd without a SSO note - it’s not an editable field…

Having a lengthy About me causes the Profile tab to become quite lengthy due to the preview. Could the preview be hidden behind a button, or have an “expand me” option? Alternately, About me could open a “normal” dual-pane composer window.

The Dropdown custom field has different sizing that other fields. Text custom fields seem OK:

No header on the Notifications tab:

If there is only one (or zero) Themes, the field should be hidden.
