Changing the Color
You can change the object’s colors by choosing Foreground and
Background colors from the Format menu. Or, you can use the color
palette. The top row of the palette configures the button’s foreground
color (text), and the bottom row configures the button’s background
color (the button itself). The two overlapping squares at the far left
of the palette show the selected colors.
