 The hood is actually made of two separate, overlapping hood shells: one for the "closed" mouth position and one for when the mouth is open. The hood is actually made of two separate, overlapping hood shells: one for the "closed" mouth position and one for when the mouth is open.
  
-The two hood shells where designed to fit over each other's perfectly if they are at the same position, rotation and scale. When fitting the hood, simply move the "HOOD_MESH_OPEN" subobject out of the way and once you are satisfied with the position & scaling of the closed version, you can copy its position/rotation/scale into "HOOD_MESH_OPEN" to match them again.+The 'open' version is docked out of the way by script and will copy the position/rotation/scale of the closed version automatically, so you only have to adjust the closed version.

 Each hood style can restrict the wearer's ability to talk or see their surrounding. Typically, styles where the mouth is covered will restrict the wearer to a whisper, while styles that cover both eyes will make the world will take an uniform, muted tone to symbolise a limited sense of touch and feel. Each hood style can restrict the wearer's ability to talk or see their surrounding.

-Rename this notecard to change the access level of the hood styling menu.+Rename this notecard to change the behavior of the RLV screen effect on the KDC Avara Hood.
  
-   * **cfg_PublicStyling=YES** - Anyone in close range can change the hood style. +   * **config.rlv.blindness=Yes** - The full screen effect will be used.

-//Note: If the hood is currently locked, the style cannot be adjusted.//+For users that experience viewer crashes with blindness=Yes, you can use the following option:
  
-===== cfg_ScreenEffect ===== +   * **config.rlv.blindness=Safe** - Crash-proof version of the screen effect.
-Rename this notecard to change the behavior of the RLV screen effect on the KDC Avara Hood. Because the majority of SL users tend to use the Firestorm viewer, the default setting is "RLVa" but I strongly encourage you to check out marine's viewer and try the "RLV" effect.+
  
-   * **cfg_ScreenEffect=RLV**    - The full screen effect will be used (Marine's viewer). +//Note: if you use config.rlv.blindness=No it will be indicated in the TouchBound Info box.//
-   * **cfg_ScreenEffect=RLVa**   - A backward compatible screen effect (Firestorm viewer). +
-   * **cfg_ScreenEffect=Off**    - Screen effect is disabled.+
  
-//Note: There still appears to be a crash related issue with Firestorm's camtexture effect and media prims so this effect is not part of the "RLVa" preset at the present time.//+===== config.rlv.silhouette ===== 
 +This is an optional effect that will de-render nearby avatars, displaying them as grey ghosts (appearance may vary with mesh bodies)
  
-//Note: if you use cfg_ScreenEffect=Off it will be mentioned in the TouchBound Infobox.//+   * **config.rlv.silhouette=No** - (default) Avatars are visible withing the blindness zone. 
 +   * **config.rlv.silhouette=Yes** - Avatars are rendered as silouettes within the blindness zone. 
 + 
 +===== config.rlv.pixelation ===== 
 +This is an optional effect if you feel that the blinding is not restrictive enough. 
 + 
 +//Note: Can interfere with other RLV products that use screen pixelation as there is no "elegant" way to share this effect between objects.// 
 + 
 +   * **config.rlv.pixelation=High** - Heavy pixelation. 
 +   * **config.rlv.pixelation=Med** - Medium pixelation. 
 +   * **config.rlv.pixelation=Low** - Light pixelation. 
 +   * **config.rlv.pixelation=No** - the pixelation effect is disabled. 
 + 
 +===== config.styling.notify ===== 
 +This option can be used to get a chat notification when someone else changes the style of your hood. 
 + 
 +   * **config.styling.public=Yes** - Anyone in close range can change the hood style if unlocked. 
 +   * **config.styling.public=No**  - Only the wearer can change the hood style if it unlocked. 
 + 
 +===== config.styling.public =====
