Enabling Drop Shadows
Enabling the drop shadows on a menu is a two-step process: Enable drop shadows for
each menu item you want to apply them to, and then configure the menu’s drop shadow
settings. This allows you to see the effect of the menu settings on all of the items at once.
To enable the drop shadow
1
Select a menu item that supports drop shadows (button text, button shapes, drop zone
shapes, or text objects).
2
In that item’s Inspector, click the Shadow checkbox to enable it.
3
Click an empty part of the menu in the Menu Editor so the Menu Inspector appears.
4
Click the Menu Inspector’s Menu tab. The drop shadow settings appear along the bottom
part of the tab.
5
Configure the drop shadow settings. (Keep in mind that the drop shadows only appear
on items that have been enabled.) See
Setting the Drop Shadow Properties
for more
information.
