Pages cannot have borders and possess only one state.
You may place text directly on a page outside the context of a button.
You can select the name for the page, the page background color, the text color for text applied
directly to the page, and a font for any text specified (including the font size and settings). If
you change any of these properties (except the name) your changes will be saved and future
page creations will carry those selections forward.
Each page must be uniquely named within its respective panel file in order to be accepted by
the program; all name collision checks in the program are case insensitive.
The maximum number of pages in a panel file = 500.
