Description

Notification defaults are set to values that would overwhelm the viewport in practice. 15 concurrent notifications at 800px wide would bury the 3D view on a standard 1080p display.

Default Changes

Setting	Current	Proposed	Rationale
Max notification count	1000	100	Users will never scroll 1000 notifications
Max concurrent notifications	15	3	15 would cover the entire viewport
Notification bubble width	800 px	400 px	800px dominates on 1080p; 400px is informative without blocking
Max pop-up duration	20 s	10 s	20s is too persistent; 10s is enough to read
Min pop-up duration	5 s	3 s	Aligns proportionally with max reduction

Additional Issue

"Enable Notification Area" and "Enable Pop-Up Notifications" use checkmark style while all other checkboxes use a filled-square indicator. This is a widget styling inconsistency — likely QGroupBox::indicator checkable group boxes vs standard QCheckBox. The stylesheet should normalize both (see checkbox consistency issue).
