Object Properties - Appearance (3D Effects)

Objects have the following 3D Effects properties.

[Effects] None

Select this option to display the object without any special effects (such as shadowing, embossing and so on).

[Effects] Shadowed

Select this option to display the object with a shadow; for example:

Depth

The distance (in pixels) that the shadow extends below and to the right of the object. This option alters the apparent distance between the object and its shadow, for example:

Shadow color

The color of the shadow. The shadow color will not change dynamically with runtime conditions.

[Effects] Raised

Select this option to display the object as a raised three dimensional solid, for example:

Depth

The distance (in pixels) that the sides of the object extend out from the raised surface. This option alters the apparent distance from the raised surface down to your graphics page, for example:

Highlight color

The color of the directly illuminated "edges" of the object.

Lowlight color

The color of the "edges" of the object that are in shadow.

[Effects] Lowered

Select this option to display the object as if it is actually lower than your graphics page, for example:

Depth

The distance (in pixels) that the sides of the object extend out from the lowered surface. This option alters the apparent distance from the lowered surface up to your graphics page, for example:

Highlight color

The color of the directly illuminated "edges" of the object.

Lowlight color

The color of the "edges" of the object that are in shadow.

[Effects] Embossed

Select this option to display the object as if it has been embossed on your graphics page, for example:

Depth

The distance (in pixels) that the embossed surface is lowered. This option alters the apparent distance from the embossed surface up to your graphics page, for example:

Highlight color

The color of the right and lower edges of the object.

Lowlight color

The color of the left and upper edges of the object.
