Setting the background color of the word predictions in List B

Here you can set the background color of the word predictions in List B. In the first box, you can set the background color for the field that displays the number. In the second box, you can specify the background color for the field that displays the actual word prediction. Here, a distinction is made between the usual word predictions and the compounds. Included in the compounds are contractions of a previously typed word that have a new word part, if a space was erroneously typed.

Imagine your have typed 'now there'; List B will predict the word 'nowhere'. The number for the word 'nowhere' has a different background color from the number for the word 'there'.

It may be useful to make a visual distinction between the compounds and the usual word predictions in List B. If you select a compound, then the word you typed previously will also be deleted. By giving these word predictions a specific color, the difference between both is clearly visible.
