Hodoku uses a system of symbols to explain it's techniques. As in the bottom left when it tells about the technique its hinting about.
Could someone help with there meaning. Thank-you, Steve

the colors are select-able if you click on them your marker colour is changed from white to the 6 options.
{when you click a square on the grid it changes to that colour}

its for marking your own "on/off" markups

clicking the "r" resets the colour markups

Hi! I think scs was referring to the hint section, not the coloring one.
Hodoku's hint section has a really intuitive syntax/meaning, although it somewhat varies between techniques.

Candidates to be eliminated are marked light red. Other colors represent candidates that are considered for the inferences. On chains, strong links are marked with solid lines; weak links with dashed lines. Light blue candidates are those assumed false ("if this is not..."); green candidates are those assumed true ("then this must be...") and so on.
This link in the user manual web page also has some extra explanations on how to view complex steps.

Greetings,
Max
