The controls on this settings page are used to configure the appearance of text in file comparison windows.
Separate colour settings are stored for the light and dark user-interface modes. This makes it possible to customize colours suitably for each mode and switch between them at will.
Text preview
The text previews show how unchanged, inserted, removed, and changed text blocks will look in file comparison windows.
Background
Click one of the colour selection buttons in this group to change the background colour of a text block type.
Overview
Click one of the colour selection buttons in this group to change the overview strip colour of a text block type. (By default, overview strip colours are more intense versions of the background colours. This makes each block in the overview strips easier to identify.)

The buttons in this group enable you to change the font and foreground colour for each type of text block that can be displayed in file comparison windows.
