Rule-select and blue icons

If you click an object in the diagram, the most specific rule that affects that object is selected in the tree and also has a blue icon. This action is called rule-select. Less specific rules that are applicable to the object also have the blue icon, see figures Customized person nodes and Customized couple nodes.
In the diagram, the selected object is surrounded by a selection box. Further objects to which the selected rule applies are also surrounded by selection boxes. Objects to which the rule applies, but for which more specific rules might override the settings for that rule, are surrounded by thin selection boxes.
If you change the selected rule, the change is sure to affect all the objects shown with a (thick) selection box; it might or might not affect the objects shown with a thin selection box. Keep clicking a given graphic object to switch between and select the rules marked with a blue icon.
