 +The dialog's elements shown above are discussed below:
 +
 +  * **Reset** - When selected, the user is returned to the originating page //without any changes being activated//. If in trouble, it is a "Get out of jail, free!" card.
 +
 +  * **Color** - Allows for the selection of ARGB colors using Total Launcher's Color Picker utility. For **Text**, **Shapes**, **Layouts** and **Windows** this is a very usable background element. For **Widget containers**, **Icons (some)**, and **Images**, the selected color could significantly overlap the main object unless it was applied with a more transparent hue. Experimentation is a good teacher. See more about this [[:ui:ui-color_picker|Color Picker]] and then return here.
 +
 +  * **Dynamic color** - The point made in the previous feature "Color" can also apply here in Dynamic Color. Bother are "colors". Dynamic color are colors based on Android's Material You design language and a system which adapts the Launcher’s color palette based on the user's wallpaper or theme. It uses //predefined// roles, like "Primary," "Secondary," "Error,", to apply consistent and appealing colors across different UI elements //based on the user's setup// color scheme. See [[section:section-dynamic_color_customize|Customize Dynamic Color]] for more discussion. 
 +
 +  * **Icon Pack** - Icons or icons from icon packs can be used in backgrounds mostly as an opaque image or in a modified transparency mode which rests behind a foreground such as text or another graphic. These icons can come from applications or be included in Total Launcher's built-in icons or downloaded from the Google Play Store.
 +
 +  * **Shape** - Shapes, with their color and gradient fills, can satisfy nicely as backgrounds, but again, have the same cautions as basic color, dynamic color, and icon packs: opaque qualities can cause issues. Shapes can also be used to blur a wallpaper background.
  
 +  * **Image** - Displays the launcher's Resource category for image storage.
