   - Note: for the background setting to affect the inactive tabs, **[Preferences > General**](#general) > `☐ Darken inactive tabs`** must be checkmarked; otherwise, inactive tabs will use the same background color as the active tab instead of using the background color defined here.

 * **URL hovered** [foreground only] ⇒ If [Preferences > Cloud & Link > Clickable Link Settings > Enable](#cloud-link) is checked, when your mouse cursor is hovering over a URL, or if the [caret](#caret-and-cursor "typing/insertion cursor") is inside the URL text, then the URL's foreground color will follow this setting.  The "Go to settings" link will take you to [Preferences > Cloud & Link](#cloud-link) so you can change **Clickable Link Settings**.
 * **Document map** [background and foreground] ⇒ The foreground color will be semi-transparently overlayed over the miniature version of text that's currently visible in the editor; the background color will be semi-transparently overlayed over the miniature version of the text that isn't currently visible in the editor (this style is new to v8.1.5).
 * **EOL Custom Color** [background and foreground] ⇒ Sets the colors for the `CR`, `LF`, and `CRLF` indicators, which are also influenced by the [**Settings > Preferences > Editing > EOL** settings](#editing-1).  The "Go to settings" link will take you to [Preferences > Editing](#editing-1) so you can change **EOL** settings.
