Colors and fonts in dialogs depend on Window Managers, selected themes,
selected fonts ... on the user computer.

We already have issues in dialogs when forcing colors and/or fonts.
So a golden rule is to avoid forcing fonts and colors when not mandatory.

On my computer, the initial colors selection give me just a black box
for the full dialog.

An other golden rule is *never* create a string by concatenation of words:
- One can translate a full sentence, but usually not a list of
concatenated words: the translation is never a word to word change.
- Are you sure "Height" and "Height:" are basically the same word
("Height" + ":") in any language in any context?
