XF 1.5 Brand New Member, Lots of Questions

Greetings, all! I am no stranger to administration of fora, but come from first the old Delphi Forums and then, later, Forums.net. I am having a hard time figuring out what controls what on the pallette and some of the other fields. Is there a post someone can link me to that has kind of a map or the like of what is what, and what means what?

There isn't really anything like that.

There is a general guide here which will help you identify elements: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/how-to.4390/

I found the easiest way of seeing which colours in the palette affect which elements is to change each one in turn to hot pink.
It becomes obvious then.

Funny you should mention that, my good sir! Because I am doing something pretty similar, while using language I learned in the Navy.
