About pop-up sliders
Some panels, dialog boxes, and options bars contain settings that use pop-up sliders (for example, the Opacity option in the Layers panel). If
there is a triangle next to the text box, you can activate the pop-up slider by clicking the triangle. Position the pointer over the triangle next to the
setting, hold down the mouse button, and drag the slider or angle radius to the desired value. Click outside the slider box or press Enter to close
the slider box. To cancel changes, press the Esc key.
To increase or decrease values in 10% increments when the pop-up slider box is open, hold down Shift and press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow
key.
Using different kinds of pop-up sliders
A. Click to open pop-up slider box. B. Drag slider or angle radius.
You can also "scrub" some pop-up sliders. For example, if you hold the pointer over the word "Fill" or "Opacity" in the Layers panel, the pointer
changes to the Hand icon. Then you can move the pointer left or right to change the fill or opacity percentage.

In some panels, dialog boxes, and options bars, you can drag scrubby sliders to change option values. Scrubby sliders are hidden until you
position the pointer over the title of sliders and pop-up sliders. When the pointer changes to a pointing finger, you drag to the left or right. Holding
