Default Something about UIBuilder I wish I'd known earlier

Just in case anyone else didn't know... I just found out tonight by accident.

- Select an object, then click on the Preview pane, and use the arrow keys to move it pixel by pixel. Hold Shift while pressing the arrow keys to move 10 pixels at a time.

- Select multiple objects by holding the Shift key and clicking. (Control-click to deselect.) When you have multiple objects selected, you can move and resize them as a group. And, the buttons at the top of the Preview pane are enabled, allowing you to use extremely useful functions like Distribute Horizontally and Align Vertical Center. (Thanks Tonyis3l33t)


Edit: Adding more features you wish you'd known earlier:

- Doubleclick on an image or imageframe's SourceRect property to bring up a preview of the image given in SourceResource. You get the standard highlight box which you can move and stretch around to select part of the image! And you can zoom in up to 8x! Discovered by Kosmos (Bug with this: If the image is not a square, it will be stretched to a square in the preview window, but the selection box won't be.)

- You can double-click any property that takes Boolean values (true or false), and it will switch between the two. (AbsorbsInput, Visible, etc.)

- Double-click any Color, BackgroundColor, etc. value and it will bring up the Windows color picker.
