The drop-down selects the visual mode, and Tshow will immediately show the new mode. Depending on the state there are various override options, such as blinkers, charge connected, charging, and holidays. The overrides are specific to that state. For example, you might show holidays only in the parked state, but not while driving.  For those modes that have one or more color choices, tap on the color to change the color.

In the color screen, you can elect to set the RGB color and White as separate choices. The preview, commands Tshow to show all the NeoPixels in that color.  Once saved, the mode is updated with the new color choice.
