Thank you! I discovered I can actually change it in the HUD but it doesn’t make any difference. While I can adjust it in the HUD, it is still grayed out in the Inspector.

For the purpose of this question, I think your answer is the proper way to do it. It has led me to another problem though, which would be best served in its own separate post:
