This dialog is used for working with fill and shadow properties of shapes: color, pattern, background.
The dialog displays the parameters of the selected shape (if there's more than one shape selected - the parameters of the primary selected shape). If there's no selected shape, it displays the default fill and shadow settings of the document (those applied to new shapes).
