Customizing menus
You can customize the current menu by adding, deleting, and rearranging menu items. You can also change the access keys used in menus. An access key is the underlined letter in a command that executes that command. Pressing an access key can be done instead of mouse-clicking.
You can make various elements in the user interface transparent.
