Opacity
The Opacity value (sometimes referred to as transparency ) ranges from zero (no opacity:
therefore transparent and invisible) to 100 (fully opaque).
Tip
Decreasing an object’s opacity makes it more transparent—its color range diminishes. That is,
as in nature, fewer color variations result as the object becomes more transparent. At very low
opacity settings (below 25%), most color “washes out” and the object takes on shades of
gray. If you require precise colors, use opacity levels above 75%.
Moving Menus
Menus share the Preview monitor screen with objects, and they occupy the top-most
layer of the screen. A menu might therefore obscure objects on the page. You can freely
move menus and place them anywhere on the screen.
¨
To move a menu, drag it by any non-active area of the menu.
PowerScript remembers menu positions. Each time you display a menu it appears at the
same position as the last time you used it, even after powering-down. PowerScript stores
the menu positions on the start card, so if you or someone else uses a different card,
menu positions might be different.
Closing Menus
All menus have a close box in the upper-left corner. Click the close box to close the menu
and remove it from the screen.
To close only the front-most menu (when you have multiple menus open), press the key-
board
Esc key. To close all open menus, press Shift+Esc .
