+User Defined Colours
+
+You may define any number of new colour schemes, each with a unique name.
+
+ Each of the residues in a colour scheme may be assigned any chosen colour.
+ Select one or more residues, then select the desired colour.
+ Use Ctrl-click to select multiple residues, or click then Shift-click to select a block.
+ Note that the currently selected buttons are highlighted by a lighter text colour.
+
+ The Case Sensitive option allows you to choose distinct colours for upper and
+ lower case residue codes.
+
+ Click Apply or OK to set your new colours on the active
+ alignment window.
+ Click Cancel to undo your changes if you pressed the Apply
+ button.
+
+ If you save your colour scheme with a unique name, the colour scheme name will
+ be added to the Colour menu on each new alignment window.
+
+ Any saved colour schemes will be automatically loaded the next time you use
+ Jalview.
+
+ Note: the screenshot shows the appearance when running Java version 6. For Java 7 (from Jalview 2.8.2) only the Swatches colour chooser is
+ currently supported (for reasons of available screen space).
