Circles of light will lurk over your menu.

Background image and background color

Two images might be used for background - first one will appear under lens, second one will appear as usual, at applet background. So if you will use usual image as lens background and same image processed with effect like Blur or Brightness, you will get interesting and unusual effect - for example, in demo menu blurred image were used as second background, so lens not only change color of background, but also "sharpen" it. If you want to create fog-like effect you should use plain color at both backgrounds with no images and with no random colors.

Menu and Selection colors

Two colors provided for text - menu and selection. By default items displayed with menu color. If mouse rolled over item, its color changes to selection color.

The size from and size to settings will set the diameter size (in pixels) of the lenses. The alpha value will let the lenses fade to the background color at the edges. The Lenses setting will set the number of lenses in the effect.

Random colors and Random lens size
