I think the ones being refered to are the ones in the config.pro options dialog box. I think there use to be images of these but I've only been able to find written descriptions of the icons in recent Help documents. A lightning bolt is an option that gets applied immediately, one that looks like a computer or screen requires Creo to be restarted for the option to be applied, one that looks like a wand is applied to newly created objects, a green diamond next an option means the option has not been applied, a dark grey dot means the option is applied and in session, and a light grey dot means there are conflicting option settings. Conflicting option settings appear when you have the option in a config.pro and in a config.sup. Newly created objects are those created as empty not with a start part. You would usually see this when setting the tolerance options. If you use a start part you will notice the tolerance values may not be what you expect since the tolerance options won't get applied, they will if you select empty when creating a new part.
