That sounds reasonable. I forget whether I added the "Display" menu,
but, if so, the original item was probably Display > Options, which was,
as I remember, what Microsoft Network Monitor (the other GUI network
analyzer I was familiar with at the time) had.

And perhaps change its name to "Packet Coloring Rules", or something
such as that, as what you're editing are those rules.
However, this raises another question.
You might want to edit your coloring rules and save them, even if you
don't have a capture file open.
You might also want to change the coloring rules for the *current*
capture and save them, independently of your default rules.
If users would find both of those useful, perhaps the former should be
Edit > Packet Coloring Rules and the latter should be View > Packet
Colors or something such as that.
