   * [shift]'''Graphic Design''' The icon should make clear that the user is changing the border and fill of the page. This can probably be the same as the frame appearance halo.[[BR]]
   * '''Interaction Design''' Standard halo. This halo should also appear in the top left corner of the page when a page is selected in the page preview palette; getting to this functionality can be tricky when the page is covered with frames.[[BR]]
+===== Common frame halos =====
  * ''FramePropertiesHalo'' [[BR]]
   * '''Description''' The frame properties halo appears when the user has selected a frame. Clicking it opens the frame properties HUD which allows the user to modify the frame's location and size and other properties.[[BR]]

   * [shift]'''Graphic Design''' It seems possible that this halo could both be both dragged and clicked, which needs to be comprehensible to the author.[[BR]]
   * '''Interaction Design''' In Sophie 1, the anchor halo was dragged to a text insertion point in another frame to anchor the frame in that flow; this was fairly opaque to most users, and it seems like it might be better to open a HUD that gives the user instructions for how to drag something that will anchor the frame. Probably we need to talk about this more.[[BR]]
+===== Specific content halos =====
  * ''CharacterHalo''[[BR]]
   * '''Description''' Character halo is a content halo. This means it is related to specific frame content, in this case it is text. The character halo appears when the user has inserted the cursor in text or has selected text. Clicking on it opens the character HUD, which will change text settings for the selected text or from the insertion point if the user starts typing.[[BR]]

   * [shift]'''Graphic Design''' Maybe the chaining halo should be at the bottom right corner of the frame? As currently envisioned, this halo can both be dragged and clicked, which needs to be comprehensible to the author. Also the icon needs to be distinct from the link halo, which does something different.[[BR]]
   * '''Interaction Design''' The chain halo could be dragged and dropped on another frame to chain a frame to another frame; clicking the halo could set it into autoflow mode, so the frame would automatically flow onto the next page. These interactions probably need to be worked out. Probably a table of interactions should be worked out here?[[BR]]
+ * Content control halo
+  * '''Description''' Each content type can provide it's own halos and HUDs. This halo is considered for PDF, Flash, Browser and media frames and should trigger a HUD which gives opportunity to define whether the controls will be visible, starting page for a pdf or an embedded book, etc.
+===== Multi frame manipulation halos =====
  * ''AlignHalo'' [[BR]]
   * '''Description''' The align halo appears only when the user has selected more than one frame. The align halo opens the align HUD which allows the user to align frames relative to each other.[[BR]]
