The Options Drawer contains a variety of options to change the appearance of gauges on a per drive basis. Visible above the Options Drawer in the figure below is the Authenticate button (which indicates its state with a lock/unlock icon) and the button which shows and hides the Options Drawer [this option is also available from the Window menu's Toggle Options Drawer menu item].
