5. Configure the Transparency dialog box as follows:
a. Ensure that the Disable All Window Transparency (Global) check
box is not selected
b. Move the Opacity slider in the General section to its mid-position
or a bit on the Solid side.
c. Set the Rollover to 100% Opacity so the palette is solid whenever
the cursor is over it.
Click OK. Now the drawing is visible through the palettes (see
Figure 7.62).
6. Right-click the palettes' title bar, and choose Auto-Hide from the con-
text menu.
When the menu closes, move the cursor off the palettes. The palettes
disappear except for the title bar (see Figure 7.63). When you move the
cursor back onto the title bar, the palettes reappear—a handy feature.
7. Close the 07A-FPLAY4.dwg drawing without saving any changes.

With both Transparency and Auto-Hide active, the palettes are less intrusive
and take up less screen area, but they remain easily accessible. In Chapter 11,
you'll learn more about the Tool Palette feature, palette properties, and how to
set up new palettes and change existing ones.
