the effect is complete. At that point, it pops back to full brightness, just as the onscreen T-Bar returns to
the top of its stroke.
3. In a mixed delegate situation (BKGD along with one or more KEY layers) the T-Bar is lit it medium blue,
and conforms to the BKGD behavior described above.
4. If one or more KEY layers are delegated without BKGD, the T-Bar color is purple. When the KEY layer (or,
for multi-KEY selections, the first KEY layer) is fully displayed, T-Bar lighting is at its brightest. Removing
the layer dims the illumination.

MAIN TRANSITION
1. Just as you would expect, the illumination of this T-Bar uses red-green coloration, standard color coding
for Program and Preview rows.
2. As for M/Es, described earlier, DSK-only delegate operations result in the T-Bar being lit in purple.
3. Mixed mode (BKGD plus DSK delegates) likewise result in blue illumination, just like the T-Bar behavior
previously described for M/Es.
