 The dashboard settings page is very basic looking - build using simple
 table markup and has almost zero stylings applied. I would like to suggest
 a change to this, where new visual elements and better organization is
 added to the page. Meaning - better separation between different
 components, description, larger click area/input fields, validation of the
 input fields and so on.

 In short - bring the settings pages to more modern look. It won't add new
 features to it, so the users won't be required to make choices but instead
 it will make the general experience of the page better.

 I am attaching sample mockup/idea screenshot I had on top of which I can
 work more based on the feedback and if this is needed in the first place.
 Any input regarding is welcome.

 The validation is there to show how it can look, not that I focus on this.
 Honestly, I believe while it would be awesome it's not of very high
 priority to have it.

 Another thing I want to comment about the design - the tabs on top are
 also only an idea, I can see how they can be a problem instead of a
 solution, so thoughts regarding this is also welcome. It's there just to
 show it visually
