If you want theorems to be in red, then you can

  A) Start a theorem.
  B) Focus -> Preferences -> Edit macro    (or use the focus bar)
  C) Select whatever you wish to see in red.
  D) Turn it into red    (you may open the menus with the right mouse button)

We might wish to have a special style package to make this easier, by the way.

     Tools -> Macros
     Focus -> Preferences -> Edit macro

This is a bit more work; you have to do some scheme programming.
Suggestions to make this easier for kids/professors at high school
would be welcome...
