Attributes of Effects tab

In the Effects tab of the Properties window, you can view or edit the effects applied to the currently selected object. Effects change the appearance of an object without changing the object itself. You can edit an effect by double-clicking it, and you can change the application order of effects using the up/down buttons. By modifying the order of the application of these effects, you can change how the object will be displayed. You can also remove an effect, or just disable it by clearing its check box.
