Feature request: allow customizing the default settings

[patrickdepinguin]

The plugin has a fixed default configuration, and stores user-made changes in a cookie. This works fine when displaying the build monitor view on a controllable display.
However, when displaying it on a system without keyboard/mouse, like a web kiosk, modifying the configuration so it would be stored in the cookie is problematic.
Being able to set the default configuration in absence of a cookie could cover this scenario.
I currently worked around this by manually editing the javascript files, but this is not very nice.

Thanks for your feedback, @patrickdepinguin. That's a good point. If you'd like to raise a pull request I'd be happy to merge it.

One thing to consider though is that it might be simpler to implement something along the lines of what's suggested in #54. Would this solve your problem?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Yes, using URL parameters as suggested in #54 would solve my problem. In fact, it would be even better since it allows tweaking the build monitor for different screen configurations without requiring cookies.
If you would go forward with implementing #54 then feel free to close this issue. Thanks!

Looks like #189 could cover this scenario.

[patrickdepinguin]

Yes looks like it, consider this issue and that pr coupled!
