| | 37 | This HUD contains controls for the borders and backgrounds of pages. You can make it go away by clicking the paint bucket halo, which is right above it. Try that. Then open it again, and look at what's in it. The top half of the HUD contains information about the page's border: the top, bottom, left, and right borders are all set to "10". "Border color" has a red square next to it. These are, in fact, the settings of the border of the book desktop: it's a red border that's 10 pixels thick. |

When you're done, just click the paint bucket halo to close the HUD. HUDs aren't quite like regular windows: you can leave them open while you do other things and come back to them. |
