The style of the Phota interface can be adjusted to suit your taste, and can vary from one album to another.  The default Original Appearance choice uses mostly dark colors for dialog and control backgrounds, and often colored text on buttons.  Select the Standard Dialog Appearance option if you prefer a more traditional Windows interface style (which can be configured somewhat via the Display Control Panel).  The Custom Appearance choice allows the selection of custom colors for Dialogs and Panels, Button and Label Text and Entry Backgrounds.

Either a solid color or a pattern can be selected for the Album Background that surrounds photo images on album pages and full-screen displays.  A collection of patterns is included with Phota (several were created by Kaleider!), however any supported image file can be used.  The appearance of text displayed for the Album Description and photo Titles can be customized.  Press the Choose Font button to select a font type and size.  The Set Text Color button allows specification of the text color.  A color can also be selected for the background that text is displayed upon by pressing Set Background Color.  When the Set Transparent option is checked, text is displayed directly on the album background (except for the Album Comments box, which will still use the text background color).

Check the Default to these Settings for Future Albums option to use the current appearance style by default when new albums are created.
