Changing a level's abbreviation or colour

MarkMate makes an abbreviation for you. Greater depth becomes GD and Secure becomes SEC.

To change it:

1. Click the coloured box to the left of the level's name.

2. Under Colour, pick a colour.

3. Under Abbreviation, type up to 3 characters.

4. To go back to MarkMate's abbreviation, click Reset to default.

Tip: To change the order, drag a level up or down. The top is always the highest.
