TipLink: Example #2

To view the applet tag in use above, right click inside this frame and choose View Source

Here we've changed both fonts, and reduced the EntrySpacing to 2, bringing the links closer together vertically. More noticeably, we've used both a background image and a panel image, and set TileBgImage to "yes". (Note that it's almost impossible to properly align the applet-background to the page-background, as this example shows quite clearly: avoid using regular or geometric backgrounds.)

Along with changes of color, we've set the SelectorStyle to "border", which draws a box around the entry under the mouse. When a border or panel selector is displayed it makes sense to allow the user to click anywhere inside that area, so we've set TextSensitive to "no".
