Working with Styles
When you work with typesetting, you are actually working with styles. A style is a set of parameters about how subtitle lines are displayed in a video. It is a style that decides the appearance of your subtitles in a video.
In Aegisub, styles can be stored in the storage by groups. When you edit subtitles, you can use existing styles in the storage, or create your new styles.
After you create a new style, you can save it to the storage for later use. If you are just trying a style to see if it is suitable for your subtitles, you can keep it in the Current scripts area. If you do not copy a new style from the Current script area to the storage, you lose the style when you close the Aegisub program. In the subtitles manager, you can move a style from storage to the Current script area and vice versa.
The Styles Manager and the Style Editor are two built-in tools. You use the Styles Manager to manage styles. You use the Style Editor to edit an existing style or create a new style.
Step 2 in the Editing Subtitles shows you how to select an existing style for a current subtitle line.

You can find step by step instructions on how to design a style in the topic of Designing a Style.
