The way the phoebus settings.ini files are structured is always:

> package.name/preference_name=value
So there will _always_ be a '/' somewhere.

Parsing this from the documentation is a confusing...

https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://control-system-studio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/preference_properties.html__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!bKdm6KbqSxWqXdi3twX47I9pcd1wJIFNMLKAtNnPI6PFr5B8cuVZsqQd0R0j-1mfa8WBgzTK2ASVnfBOfeUku9ZTaw$ 

the section you quote is preceded by:

> File ../../core/ui/src/main/resources/phoebus_ui_preferences.properties:

> # Package org.phoebus.ui

So the full name of eg. 'ok_severity_text_color' as it should appear in settings.ini is:

> org.phoebus.ui/ok_severity_text_color=0,255,0
