Hi! @wmontwe I’ve been investigating the issue and here are my findings:

1.The value for show_starred_count (and other similar settings) is being updated directly via K9.isShowStarredCount in GeneralSettingsDataStore.
2.However, after the change, there doesn't seem to be any UI refresh or reactive update to reflect the change.

Before I proceed with the fix, I wanted to confirm the best approach:

1.Should I trigger a UI refresh after changing the setting (e.g., by using a StateFlow or other mechanisms to propagate the change)?
2.Or is there another approach you’d recommend to ensure the UI reflects the updated settings after they’ve been changed?

Any guidance would be really helpful before I start implementing the fix. Thanks!
