Abstract
A system provides for synchronization of configuration settings in a plurality of applications by receiving a global configuration setting to be applied to the plurality of applications and by applying the global configuration setting to the plurality of applications so that operation of each of the plurality of applications conforms to the global configuration setting. The system detects a respective local configuration setting in use by each of the plurality of applications displays a synchronization indicator that indicates if the plurality of applications are operating using a common local configuration setting. The synchronization indicator can be a color settings synchronization indicator that indicates if a color setting used to render color on a display device is synchronized between applications in a graphics suite.
