====== Highlights and Gloss ======

Many of the jControls have additional properties to introduce lighting effects, namely ''Highlight'' and ''Gloss''.  ''Gloss'' is unique to [[.:Fills, Strokes, and Borders|fills]], but ''Highlight'' can be applied to [[.:Fills, Strokes, and Borders|fills, strokes, and borders]].

===== Highlight Property =====
The Highlight property adds the effect of a light reflecting off of the top edge of the control (''Top''), off the bottom edge of the control (''Bottom''), or no reflection at all (''None'').  Used creatively it can add the appearance of depth to the control. For example, using ''Top'' for a [[.:jButton]]'s ''ReleasedAppearance'' and ''Bottom'' for the [[.:jButton]]'s ''PressedAppearance'' can create the effect of a button moving inward when pressed.
