This Theme Creator dialog allows the user to create themes which affect the way SP Zen Editor© looks — its size and location; whether it starts out maximized; the editor text field’s background color, font (font family, size and style) and color.

The Examples: Textbox, Menu And Buttons
There are four examples: one is a text box which represents how your text will look in the editor; another is a non-functional menu; there are also a two non-functional buttons.
The text example box is a text field which displays text (it starts out with the general “sample text box” string but anything may be typed there). This text will be displayed with the currently chosen text color printed on the currently chosen background color. These colors will change dynamically with common color button clicks or as the result of a successful choice from the external color picker dialog.
The interface color examples (menu and button) are displayed with the currently chosen interface colors (font color and background color). These colors will change dynamically with common color button clicks or as the result of a successful choice from the external color picker dialog.
Any text may be entered here. This box will remember its contents until the Speech Productivity© module closes.
While these demonstration items are conceptually functional they perform no real functions.
The Buttons At The Bottom

The Help… button will open the documentation for this dialog in your preferred browser.
The Create button will create new theme and dismiss this dialog.
The Cancel button will not create a theme but will dismiss this dialog.
