Visual Effects

[Peter Haworth]

Thanks Devin.  I had tried lock screen for visual effects but not with the
rect parameter.  Using rect makes it work the way I want.... almost :-)
 The groups are of slightly different sizes so the visual effect looks a
little strange if the group to be hidden is wider than the one to be shown.
 I'm off to fix that now by making the groups the same size.

Thanks for the solution.
