Pick Color...
Click this button to select a new color for the item in the list.
Styles...
Opens the Style Properties dialog to edit the formatting style settings. The styles are applied to text based on parsing. The colors used in styles should work together with the colors you pick for the items in the list. For example, the Window Background color should not conflict with the text or background colors you choose for styles.
Themes...
Opens the Visual Themes manager.
Use Defaults...
Resets the color options to the initial defaults.
Set Panel Fonts and Colors...
Many panels show lists of text, and each panel has optional settings for the font and colors used in those lists.
When clicked, this sets the fonts and colors in all panels to a single setting. Even though each panel has its own font and color settings, this button sets them all to the same thing. This button is a simple way to change all the panel fonts and colors at once, instead of selecting the options for each panel individually. However, this wipes out any differences in their settings.
Applying a Visual Theme will also change all the panel colors en masse to whatever is stored in the theme.
