@{b}           Save @{ub}- save and use the current settings.
@{b}            Use @{ub}- use the current settings.

@{b}         Cancel @{ub}- cancel all changes.
@{b} Color Gradient @{ub}- set level for incrementing the color palette.
                  Low values give smoother color transitions, real low values
                  are best used in conjunction with a screen mode supporting
                  24 bit color.
                  @{i}Default: Varies depending on the default screen mode.@{ui}
@{b}      Hot Spots @{ub}- how many sources.
                  @{i}Default: 7.@{ui}
@{b}       Duration @{ub}- how long in seconds the fully drawn image should
                  remain on screen before a new one is generated.
                  @{i}Default: 30 seconds.@{ui}
@{b}  Show Hot Spots @{ub}- if set then the sources will be shown.
                  @{i}Default: Yes.@{ui}
@{b}Aspect Ratio Correction @{ub}- adjust image for the pixel aspect of the
                  screen.
                  @{i}Default: Yes.@{ui}
@{b}      Draw Mode @{ub}- how the image should be drawn, either draw by
                  drawing random blocks or draw the blocks in a spiral.
                  @{i}Default: Spiral.@{ui}
@{b}     Array Size @{ub}- size of each block.
                  @{i}Default: 32x32.@{ui}
@{b}   Display Mode @{ub}- the screen mode to use. If the preferred screen cannot
                  be opened then the default screen mode will be tried, if
                  this fails then the minimum screen mode required for this
                  blanker will be tried, if that fails then the blanker will
                  quit and let SwazBlanker choose an alternative blank
                  method.
                  @{i}Default: Screen with best depth and color palette.@{ui}
