Multiple intances can be launched at the same time

If you click on "Configure Day/Night Cycle...", it will launch its configuration window, but you can always click on the same button and launch any number of that window.

NB: If only one cycle can be configured, why are those cycle settings launched into a separate window, when there is enough space on the parent page?

For a variety of technical reasons, it has to be this way, sorry. It's not feasible for technical reasons to either embed it in the page or prevent opening it multiple times if you go back and click the button again (though… why would you do that? :D )

I was just testing the new day/night feature, and it looked completely wrong to have a setting window to open multiple instances at the same time when only one is needed.

From my understanding, a setting window can only be opened multiple times at the same time if multiple results are expected to be retrieved in the parent window.

I think the same day/night cylce window is already embeded in "Night Light"  page. If it's not possible for wallpaper, cannot be made a modal? or disable that button when that window is opened?
