| Field | Description |

| Image source | If you want your panel to display an image, type its source here. Remember, the path is relative to the folder on disk from which the web content is served and is different for each class of web user |
| Image style | Choose how the image should be displayed |
| Colour | Choose the background colour of the panel; if you are adding an image, you may want to select Transparent so that this does not interfere with your image |
| Apply lighting effects to this panel | Tick this option to apply a shine effect to the entire panel; if you are using the panel to display an image, this may adversely affect how it appears |
Metrics
The
tab allows you to define the shape of the panel, by entering values for its position and size. You are also given the option to determine the refresh frequency of the page, by entering a value in the box, as shown below:| Screenshotmacro |
