# UI

## Description

Tailor different options that you will interface with while using Motion. The modes are generally visual, and can help fit Motion into size, or docking in After Effects.

## Panel Scaling

Enable custom UI scaling for M⁴ — on different monitors, or various panel sizings buttons, the general panel might not feel correct. Adjust the slider % to increase or, decrease the entire scaling for the M⁴ panel. 

## Tooltips

Display information pop-ups to identify M⁴ components. If you don't like seeing the Tooltips pop up when you hover M⁴ components; disable Tooltips for a more clean UI experience.

## Overlay Blur

Enable or disable the "blur" effect that is put over background elements, when new screens are displayed in M⁴. The Overlay Blur helps to keep panels, and workflows focused and will display blur effect behind overlay screens.

## Search Field Type

Customize your preferred Header bar and Search field.

**Compact**\
This is the startup view of the Search Field. This puts a Search icon to the right of the Navigation buttons. When the Search icon is clicked an entire Search View will be visible.

**Scroll**\
For smaller UI with limited width the Scroll mode for the Search field is a great option, to engage Search — hover the mouse over the Navigation buttons and "pull down" or, scroll down with your Mouse to pull down the Search field. 

**Extended**\
If you'd like to always display a Search bar in your UI, enable Extended and you can always enter text into the Search field.
