Table 4-3 General Tab Dialog Elements | |
Orientation
| Selects the position of the panel on the screen. Click the required
position for the panel.
|
Size
| Specifies the size of the panel.
|
Expand
| By default, a panel expands to the full length of the edge of the screen
where it is located. A panel that does not expand can be moved away from the
screen edges to any part of the screen.
|
Autohide
| Makes the panel fully visible only when the mouse pointer is over it.
The panel hides off-screen along its longest edge, leaving a narrow part visible
along the edge of the desktop. Moving the mouse pointer over the visible part
of the panel moves it back into view.
|
Show hide buttons
| Displays the hide buttons at each end of the panel. Clicking a hide
button moves the panel vertically, hiding it off-screen except for the hide
button at the opposite end. Clicking this hide button restores the panel to
being fully visible.
|
Arrows and hide buttons
| Displays arrows on the hide buttons, if the hide button is enabled.
