# Fonts & Colors Preferences

This pane lets you change different fonts and color settings across MacJournal.

In the Fonts section, the first setting lets you change the default font for rich text entries. This only affects entries created after this setting is changed because each entry saves all of its styling information as it is created and edited. This is stored in the entry template for the document you are editing, see Entry Templates for more information. If you would like to apply a style like a font across multiple entries, select some text with the style that you want and use the "Copy Style" menu item. Then select all the entries you want to change and use the "Paste Style" menu item.

The second font item is the font used to display plain text entries. Since plain text entries don't save any style information, this applies to any plain text entry that you view.

The third and fourth font items are the font that is used to display rows in the Sidebar and Entries List (respectively).

The colors section saves three different lists of colors that are used for different user interface elements. "Labels" control colors that you can apply to entries as they show up in a list like the Sidebar, "Highlight" is a list of colors that can be applied behind text, and "Text" is a list of colors that can be applied to text directly.
