Description

I started to describe things here, but somehow what I had already written happened to vanish.

So, just plainly what I need to be solved:
styles settings cannot be saved (button appears gray) – what can I do?

Cheers

P. S.
I tried to find an answer in the manual but failed and sadly experience it als quite cumbersome. I would need one in German – my English language skills are fine for small talk or even some philosophical discourse, but not for instantly translating technical hints into well-targeted looks for explaning paragraphs, or already into specific key and mouse maneuvers. I usually need uncounted answers to questions like "WHERE is that (and if I knew how it looks, I may even find it)", or "which keys am I to press for that in what order, and what about the mouse?"
