According https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/Alignment the right position is left for the longest label and all other to its right edge. Furthermore the checkbox as introduction to the function is weird. If non-custom means black you could simply omit the checkbox. Probably you adjust b/w in respect to the background. Hence the color would rather fit an indented child below the checkbox. I wonder why font size and color can be set but no other option. Either it's too much (who needs to set color to green or change the default font) or not enough (why not have comic font).

Formatting options like bold, italic, and the like are set in the applet using the formatting buttons similar to a word processor and not globally. Font size is a must (I often use huge sticky notes as really important reminders), not sure about font color (given you can already achieve emphasis by changing the note color) and font family.
