Detailed Customization Options

Header Brush:

• Functionality: Allows users to select and apply a color to the header of the main application window.
  
  
• Impact: The choice of header color can significantly influence the visual impact of the application, with the ability to make the interface feel light, dark, or vibrant. This setting is essential for branding purposes and for ensuring that the header stands out or blends in with the overall theme of the application.

Header Font:

• Functionality: This setting enables users to customize the font used in the application window’s header.
  
  
• Impact: Font choice affects not only the look of the header but also its readability and the application's overall feel. Options can range from professional, clean fonts for a corporate look to more unique, stylized fonts that match personal or company branding.

Border Brush:

• Functionality: Specifies the color of the border surrounding the entire application window.
  
  
• Impact: The border color can complement or contrast with the header and the main theme, adding a visual boundary that can make the application's interface appear more defined and structured.

Border Width:

• Functionality: Determines the thickness of the border around the application window.
  
  
• Impact: A thicker border can make the application feel more framed and pronounced, while a thinner border might be preferred for a more seamless look where the application blends with the operating system or other applications.
