2. Press in the Hotbox Controls area to show the marking menu.
3. Drag down to the Hotbox Style submenu.
4. Select one of the following options:
• Zones and menu rows: show all menus, as well as the “zones” containing marking menus above, below, left, and right of the hotbox.
• Zones only: don’t show all menus.
