Entry in Attributes Window Represents
Images: Displays the handle names of the overlay image controls already created. If you select an item in this list, its attributes are displayed for editing. You can also select several items for cutting and pasting.
New Creates a new overlay image control.
Cut Cuts a selected overlay image control and copies it to the clipboard. You can also cut and paste several image controls at once.
Copy Copies the selected overlay image control(s) to the clipboard.
Paste Pastes one or more items from the clipboard.

Note:
The "New" and "Paste" entries insert image controls behind the currently selected item, or, if no items are selected, at the top of the list. You deselect items by holding down CTRL while selecting the selected items.

Selected image: In this group frame, you assign attribute values to the item selected in the "Images" list box on the left.
Name Handle name of the overlay image control (may be overwritten with another name).
Bitmap BITMAP-FILE-NAME attribute value.

Note:
This can be the name of a bitmap (*.bmp) or icon (*.ico) file.

... "Source" dialog box for determining sources of BITMAP-FILE-NAME attribute values.
Background BACKGROUND-COLOUR-NAME attribute value. If 'default' is specified, the color of the first (top-left) pixel in the bitmap determines the background color. In the case of icons, the icon's bitmap is used.
... Dialog box for editing BACKGROUND-COLOUR-VALUE attribute value.
Style:  
Scaled STYLE attribute value. Images are scaled to the requested size, rather than being either truncated or extended with the background color.
Composite image STYLE attribute value. Image file is considered to consist of multiple images joined together horizontally. For example, if the requested image size is 16 by 16 pixels, and the bitmap is 80 by 16 pixels, it will be assumed to comprised of 5 images. If this style were not set, the image would be treated as a single 80 by 16 pixel image, which would then be either truncated or scaled to the requested image size (depending on whether the "scaled" style is set).
OK Save settings and exit the window.
Cancel Exit the window without saving the settings.
Help Provides online help on the attributes window.
