Browse Formats Design window

NOTE: There is no limit to the number of formats that can be designed. So you can custom-design format for all your stations if you want. Any format can be applied to any station; however, the Default Formats in each window cannot be edited or deleted. This lets you get back to the standard screen layouts and start over if you need to.
