Hi,

There's a property on the ComponentRole in the isl which determines whether the isl settings take precedence over the control or vice versa. By default, the isl will take precedence. The only way it would not is if you set the ResolutionOrder on one or more component roles.

Also, the isl applies to the control as a whole, and it is still possible to override the appearance in the application in some cases by setting an appearance on a more specific object. For example, applying an Appearance to a grid cell will still work, overriding the isl settings. This allows you to use an isl but still color a single cell for the purposes of displaying state information.
