Selection Effects / Borders Styles
Here you can specify all the settings that control the style of
the selection area of a menu item.
You can choose from five different types of border
effects:
- (none): No border will be drawn.
- Raised: Draws a border so that the command appears to be raised relative to the background.
- Sunken: Draws a border so that the command appears to be inset relative to the background.
- Double: Draws two
solid borders around the command
- Bevel: Draws two
borders, one raised and another inset, both half the
size of the total border size
You can also define the base
color that will be used to draw these borders by using
the color selection boxes next to the border style
controls.
You can choose different border styles for each of the two supported states, i.e., when the
- menu item is not selected (Normal)
- mouse pointer is passing over or resting on it (Mouse Over or Hover).
Compatibility notes
Enabling these effects can slow down the menus
considerably under Netscape Navigator 6 and 6.1
With Netscape Navigator 6, some combinations of border effects are
not supported. Always try to use the same effect for both
states and don't use background images.
This option has no effect with Netscape Navigator 4.
Although the borders will be rendered under Opera 5.12, some
combinations will produce unpredictable results. It use of these settings is not
recommended if Opera support is
required. |
Border Size
Sets the width of the border of the selection rectangle.
Horizontal and Vertical Margins
Controls the space between the
menu item contents and the border.
Live Preview
Allows you to see how the selected item will appear in your browser.
The Live Preview is updated at the same time you make changes to your items. That way, you always know how your menus will appear without having to go through the process of compiling your project or even previewing.
When a group is selected, the Live Preview shows how the background of the menu will appear. If the toolbar option is selected, the preview will show how the actual toolbar hotspot will appear.
When a command is selected, the Live Preview shows how the selected command will appear against its parent group.
The Scope Selector
This advanced control will let you select which item or items
should receive the styles on the dialog.
By default, only the selected item will receive the style
changes, however you can choose from a variety of options to apply
the same style changes to a set of menu items all at once.

settings from the command's parent group.
