NOTE:   If you change any of the layouts through the hidden settings dialog, the layout is checked for errors, and the icon for that layout is updated. The layout icons do not normally contain any red color, but if a layout has errors in it, then the icon contains red in those portions of the screen that were rejected or left unused by the layout parser.
