Settings

This is the last item on the Menu, but contains basic display functions.

'Settings > Background... allows you to adjust the background, but only in the Story Editor display. You would use this, for example, if your text is white or very pale. Changing the background will make it more legible.

'Settings > Display Font... will change the font, but again, only in the Story Editor display, simply as a matter of personal taste.
