- Duration should be a positive integer value, 'keypress', or 'mouseclick', to wait respectively for a specified interval in milliseconds, until a key has been pressed, or until a mouse button has been clicked.

- Foreground color should be an English color name (e.g., 'blue') or an HTML color value (e.g., #0000FF).

- Background color should be an English color name (e.g., 'blue') or an HTML color value (e.g., #0000FF).

- Font family is mono, sans or serif.

- Font size reflects the size of the font in points.
