Purpose

Playback in Demo Mode showing the 'focus layer'

If this checkbox is selected then during playback (in 'hands-off' modes) the area of the screen at which the action takes place is 'highlighted', to emphasize its location. Technically, all of the screen outside of this area is 'lowlighted' (grayed out). Either way, the effect is to focus the Learner's attention on the key area of the screen.
