Desktop Inspector
The Desktop Inspector allows you to customize the properties of the currently selected object.
The top combo box allows you to select any of the current objects.
Checking the Use Overall Transparency option sets all "Transparent" property options to be the current value. This allows you to easily control the entire transparency of any selected object.
Clicking the small button to the right of the transparency option hides or shows the Desktop Object Palette.
The comprehensive treeview is sensative to the type of object that you have selected. It allows you to customize the current object's properties. Click once on any item to edit it. Hold the mouse over an item for a short time to get a "Tool Tip" as to what the property does.
Desktop Object Palette
The buttons on the Object Palette do just what they say.
