Quick Reference  

Action	What it does
Appearance tab
Z-order	Change the position of the DesktopX Welcome menu from: Always on top - always in front of other open application windows, etc.. Normal level - (default) stays in front of open application windows, etc., unless the window is clicked on (giving it focus), in which case the menu will be sent to the background (behind open window). Desktop level - keeps the menu in the background, behind open window(s) & other objects.
Opacity	Changes the transparency of DesktopX Welcome as you move the slider . Far left: Totally transparent (see through), non-opaque. Far right: (default) Totally opaque (can not see through).
	Checked, gives the Welcome menu a shadow. Unchecked, (default) no shadow. Clicking gives you options to change the shadow from its default.
	Allows you to change the shadow settings of the menu, then click or to save changes.  (Click then to abort changes.) "Sharpness" - far left (more sharp), far right (fuzzy). "Darkness" - far left (lighter), far right (darker). "X" - (X axis / horizontal) move the slider to the far left to move the shadow to the far left & to the right, to move it to the right of the widget. "Y" - (Y axis / vertical) move the slider to the bottom to move the shadow lower than the Welcome menu or up the scale to move the shadow above it. "Override custom settings where already defined" - if you find as you make changes, nothing happens, check this box.  Then you should see changes made to the menu as you move the sliders.  This option replaces the menu's default settings with your desired changes to the shadow. Note: You must check the box for "Shadow", otherwise the menu's shadow will not change.
Hue Shift (From: To:)	Changes the hue (tint) of the color of the menu.  The top rainbow bar (From:) are the default colors, while the bottom bar (To:) are the new hues as you move the next to "Hue Shift".
Accessibility	Places an icon for the menu in the: Taskbar - (bottom of desktop). Systray  - System Tray / by default, lower right corner next to clock.
