Given the multiple settings failing to apply here, all in body pane, I'm guessing it's a single bug with the body pane initialization, so: 4) Body pane color display settings all remain at default, not applying the custom color settings. > Header Pane: > Collapsed thread with unread articles, I'm not sure.

Collapsed thread with unread articles is now confirmed to be working (tho only after a restart, #3 above). After setting non-default values (purple fg on green bg) and a restart I get what I set. =:^) So it seems the only bug to add to the original three is #4 above, that the body pane code doesn't seem to be applying any color customization at all.
