| <p class="Para">A tree is used to navigate among and show a short preview of the various colors and fonts. The |
| current face (but not size) of any font is previewed in its label. Colors are previewed in the icon associated with |
| its label. Additionally, some categories (Workbench in particular) provide a more detailed preview of their |
| contributions. This preview is shown below the description area if available.</p> |
| <p class="Para">Font settings can be changed either by selecting the font from the list and clicking <strong>Use |
| System Font</strong> to choose the Operating System font setting or by clicking <strong>Change</strong> to open up a |
| font selection dialog. <strong>Reset</strong> can be used to return to the default value.</p> |
| <p class="Para">Color settings can be changed by clicking <strong>color</strong> to the right of the tree area when a |
| color is selected. <strong>Reset</strong> can be used to return to the default value.</p> |
| <p>The Colors and Fonts text field can be used to filter the contents. Simply type in an entry and any matching |
| results will remain in the tree view.</p> |
| <p>Descriptions and previews are provided when the Workbench colors and font settings are selected.</p> |
