Default Row
The default row menu allows you to specify the font type and size along with a button for bold and italics. There are 4 color settings which include text and background. Background #2 is used if you want alternating colors for each row. The alternating colors will not include flash news headlines (described below). Read news text will change the color of the headline text after the story has been read (by double clicking the headline or choosing read from the right click menu).

Flash News
Use this menu to specify the font type and size for flash news (along with a button for bold and italics). adjusting the text and background colors is also available.

Any headline with an * in front is considered flash news. Typically these are headlines only (with the stories added later) that allows news vendors to quickly put out news before an accompanying story is ready.

Grid Lines
Use this menu to change the grid line color or turn grid lines off by unchecking horizontal grid lines.
