Special Group Effects: Drop Shadow and Transparency
Controls two advanced effects you can
apply to your groups.
Drop Shadow: Draws a drop shadow surrounding the element's
shape. Use the slider to set the shadow size (distance) and the
color button to adjust the drop shadow's color.
Transparency: Makes the menus transparent. Moving the slider to the right makes the menus more transparent.
Compatibility notes
These effects only work with Internet Explorer 4.0
(and above) under Windows and UNIX.
Internet Explorer 5.0 may have problems refreshing the
contents of a page when one of these effects is turned
on. As a result, traces of the menus are left visible on the page. |
Context Menu
Creates a context menu from the selected group. This group will then be displayed instead of the browser's context menu when the users of your web site right-click anywhere on the page.
Only have one group can be designated a contextual menu.
Compatibility notes
This option only works under Windows for Internet
Explorer 4.0 (and above), Netscape Navigator 4 (and above) and Opera 5.12 |
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.
