Button colors

Button colors are in a separate section: Buttons & Inputs (requires a license). See the Buttons & Inputs article for details.

Header and menu colors

Text selection highlight

Two additional color settings control how selected text appears in the browser:

  • Selection text color — default #FFFFFF
  • Selection background color — default #0094FF

These appear in the Colors section and apply globally via ::selection CSS.

All color pickers support alpha transparency — click the color swatch and use the opacity slider to set semi-transparent values.
