Change the background color of a control or section

If you want to use the same color for another control or section, you can just click Fill/Back Color (you don't have to click the arrow next to the button and pick the color again from the palette). If you want to set different colors for several controls at once, click the arrow next to Fill/Back Color , click the horizontal bar at the top of the color palette, and drag it to another location. This way you don't need to click Fill/Back Color each time you want to apply a color.
