Defaults for New Views
When you start a new view the view will be given default attributes. You can change these with the View>Font and Colors... command. You can also configure the Sketch Tools to use colors different from the defaults.
Sketch Background (default -) sets the background color that will be used for a view. If you choose the default - color the view will appear as other editing windows.
Shape Color (default black) sets the color that shapes will appear in.
Fill Color (default -) sets the color that shapes will be filled with. Selecting the default - color means that shapes will not be filled.
Arrow Color (default blue) sets the color that arrows will be drawn with.
Initial Arrow Color (default gray) sets the color that arrows indicating initial causes will be drawn with.
Font determines the font with which new sketches are started. This is very helpful because you can set it to something you want so that you do not have to select a new font each time you start a new view.
