## Areas

The phone's screen is divided into three areas. Carbide.ui allows you to edit these areas:

### Status Area

The Status area, which is the upper part of the mobile phone's screen, consists of three sub-areas: Status Area Background, Navi Pane Background, and Idle Status Area Background.

### Main Area

The Main area, which is the large middle part of the mobile phone's screen, consists of five different sub-areas. These sub-areas include, for example, active and idle main area backgrounds.

### Control Area

The Control area, which is the bottom part of the mobile phone's screen, consists of two sub-areas, the Control Area Background and the Idle Control Area Background.
Figure: Default and customize status areas
Note: Some areas can be animated.
Note: Most of the areas contain a background layer by default, allowing you to define transparency for the components. The Navi Pane component does not contain a background layer as a default. To add a background layer to Navi Pane, select the component and go to Layers view or the Animation Editor. Right-click the layer and select Add Background. Now you can add effects to the background layer.
