Opening and Closing Trays

• To open a tray, click the double arrow icon between the Tray and the shelf.
• To close a tray, click the double arrow icon again. The palette will still be stored in there as well as any buttons you may have placed there but it will be hidden from site.

Moving Palettes Into Trays

• To move a palette to the tray, open it and look in the upper left corner. Click on the orange circular icon.This orange icon is called the palette’s handle. Clicking on it moves the palette to the top of the open tray. The palette will now stay open while you continue to work on the canvas.
• To remove a palette from the tray, click its handle.
  You can also use the handle to move a palette from one location to another within the tray.

Scrolling Trays Up and Down

Trays can contain many palettes. To accomodate this Trays can be scrolled up and down to access Palettes that may be hidden from view.

To scroll a Tray simply left click in any unused area in the Tray and drag up or down.

Some General Notes About Trays

• Each palette has a preferred tray. If neither tray is open, clicking on the handle will open the preferred tray and move the palette there automatically. If both trays are open, the palette will automatically go to the top of its preferred tray.
• You can also drag the handle to move the palette where you want it. This is handy when you have both trays open and want to put the palette in its non-preferred tray, or if you wish it to be below other palettes that are already in the tray.
• When a palette is in a tray, its appearance changes slightly. Its icon appears to the left of the palette’s name and the handle moves to the right. Next to the handle, there is also now a small icon with a triangle in it. Clicking the icon will toggle between the palette’s basic and advanced states. If you would like to simplify the palette so that only its most basic features are available, click this icon.
• A palette that is in the tray can be expanded and collapsed by clicking on its title. This conserves room when several palettes are in a tray.
• When several palettes are in a tray, it is not uncommon for them to scroll off of the screen. To bring items back into view, simply click in any empty space within the palette and drag up or down.
• A palette can only exist in one place at a time. If you have a palette in the tray, you can still access it as a pull-down menu from the palette list. If you do this, it will temporarily disappear from the tray and will reappear once its pull-down counterpart closes.
