Yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to achieve.

Yes, you do need to apply the settings to each individual window.

Yes it does but I've found one colour setting that doesn't "stick".  
One by one, I changed the background colour of each window and they  
all "stuck" apart from the message editor window. After changing it,  
exiting the window and then going back, it had changed back to the  
default background colour. I can repeat this over and over and over  
again and my changes to the background colour never "stick".
