4. Click the Letters folder icon to select it again.

6. Color the other icons in the Tutorial window.
Select each icon in turn and choose a background and outline color for it. Experiment to see which color combinations you like best for the background and outline of the icon. For a somewhat different look, try setting the background and outline of an icon to the same color.
Note that a selected icon will always have a black background and a white outline, no matter what color its outline and background have been set to. And an icon that has been opened into a window and then deselected will have a gray background and outline, no matter what color its outline and background have been set to.
