Is there any way to dim or change the color of the labels for items selected in the observing list in Starry Night Pro Plus. At present they display as a bright red and there doesn’t seem to be any way to change this.

From page 40 in the the User's Guide:
Label Options
Every database in Starry Night has label options. To access these options, open the Options pane and click on the name of the database you are interested in. This will open the “display options” dialog box for this database. The label options will be at the bottom of the dialog box.
Most databases share the following label options:
Appearance: For all databases, you have the option of changing the label appearance. Dropboxes allow you to change the font and size of the label, and choose whether you want the labels to be in bold or italics.
Colour: This determines the colour that labels appear onscreen. Click on the colour bars to choose a new label colour. Many users use different label colours for each of the major databases, making it easier to quickly distinguish between planets, stars, and deep space objects.
I agree that you can change label properties for most labels from the options menu. However, if you use the lists menu and check all or some of the brightest star list, they appear with a bright red label and there is no way to change the label properties to a dimmer setting.
