Description

Some options are available only through the decorator (e.g. the style), while some are accessible as command-line options and one (the results dir) is also an ini option. We should make this more consistent so that e.g. styles can be set globally on the command-line or in an ini file.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how options are currently passed to the decorator and via command line/ini. Propose a unified approach to allow all options to be accessible in all three ways.
