yes, not the best resolution but it's not art:

here is the window for 'multiple files' selection:
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/13d060QVRfN9aVStgKyB_sPmPQ70vdId1/view?usp=sharing>

here is the window for 'advanced preferences':
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aVkgKLlLPF8ajxeTh_DeFPDHgco_E3yU/view?usp=sharing>

note how in the 'advanced preferences' window 'Network Sync' has been 
selected yielding white font against blue background.
