While editing themes its really hard to see all the different things each section will color. On V4 we(forum admin) had a example pic of a few of the areas. The preview helps a ton!~!!!! However I keep finding myself changing a color and look over and it wasnt what I thought it was. It would be very helpfull to have a link to a pic of what the one line of text is refering too. ..or a something I could printout, and use as referance to see what it is Im coloring? Thanks

If I don't know what something is I tend to make it a bright contrasting colour and then look on the visual editor. That might help you. Or if I want to colour something specific I use the right click, inspect element option too try and work out what it is. (On the forum not the editor) That might also help Sent from phone, please forgive typos!

That does help, many of my colors are the same are ie: Reds, Oranges and Yellows. When something doesnt show up Ill make it bright pink then search for it. Ive got an unspeakable amount of time doing this, Im looking for a referance so if it doesnt show up I can look to see what I am messing with without takiing the time to search for it as well as see all the differant places it affected.

If you notice in the Visual Editor, there is only ever specific bits that are in BOLD. So when you're on the Main page for example (in the preview pane), everything that has something on there such as board titles/names, info center, and so on, they will show as bold. Notice how "Quotes" and other stuff are greyed out? That's because in the preview panel you have to go TO a post where there is a quote.
Hope this helps.

I first I thought those were areas that will show after beta was over..as Ive spent more time I noticed I could edit them but never even dawned on me. Im sure this reply will help alot of people!
