[ic] design issues

I am not sure there is a complete list other than a current catalog.cfg. And
these are really what you make of them. The Construct Demo is just to give
you an idea of what you can do. It's by no means a limiting factor.

I usually don't change the default code, but add new variables with
different names that include files with different names copied from the
originals. This gives you an easy method of troubleshooting should you have
a problem at some point, as you can easily revert back to the default by
changing the variable name and refreshing the page.

Some of the new color options are found at the top of each page with a short
definition. You should be able to modify these or add additional choices to
do what you need to do.

Good luck,

Cameron
