There is also an XML page in the style dialog where you can directly 
hack at the SLD document (uDig is always backed by an SLD -- it's just

This topic comes up every few months... I usually point back at this thread:

For details on the StyledLayerDescriptor (SLD v1.0), please see its 
specification:
