Background

By default the background of the Web panel is black with a lighting effect. However you can add an image source as the background and either choose to have that image centered in the panel or repeated by typing in details. In that case, you may even want to set a transparent background for your image. Alternatively, just pick a colour from the colour palette and leave the Image source field blank, as shown below:

Metrics

The width and height of the panel containing the Web page will be picked up automatically. You can change this by using your mouse to drag this to a different size or by changing the number of pixels to define the panel size.

You can also choose the refresh rate for the panel, by filling in the Article refresh box provided. At the end, click theSavebutton to save any changes made.
