Transparent Effects

Enabling Use Transparent Effects on the General Options dialog turns on the following effects:

Off-Template Blending. When an object is partially off of the template, BarTender displays the part outside of the Template as semi-transparent.
Semi-transparency During Screen Manipulation. When an object is being moved, rotated, or resized using the mouse, it becomes semi-transparent so that objects it overlaps are visible.

The movement of of objects and the resizing of the BarTender window may be slowed by this option on computers without graphics cards.
