In the Caption Appearance category, users can customize the visual appearance of the control’s caption.

1. Background Color: This is a single-select dropdown field that allows users to choose the background color of the caption text.
   • It contains two tabs: Custom and Web.
     
     • In the Custom tab, users can choose a background color by selecting a color from a color picker. The color picker offers a selection of theme colors, standard colors, and the ability to create custom colors.
     • In the Web tab, users can select a background color from a scrollable list. The list displays a range of specific colors, each with its own name, allowing users to easily choose from pre-defined options.
   • After choosing a background color, the control will update to reflect the new color scheme.
2. Font Color: This is a single-select dropdown field that allows users to choose the font color of the caption text.

3. Font Size: This field allows users to set the font size of the caption text.
   • By default, the font size is set to 12. To adjust this size, use either the slider or the numeric updown field.
     • In the numeric updown field, users can enter numbers either manually or by clicking the increment/decrement arrows.
4. Is Bold: This is a checkbox which, if selected, allows users to make the caption text appear in a bold font.
5. Is Italic: This is a checkbox which, if selected, allows users to make the caption text appear in an italicized font.
