Idris,

Thanks for your help.  

I was able to change the foreground colours from the "User Define" dialogue, but the background colour never changed.  Thanks to your pointer, I eventually found the global override for the background colour under "Settings - Styler Configurator - Global Styles - Global Override".

Regards,

Richard
