How to show the animation control by default

Question

In this simple control object in mathematica like the following,

Control[{x, 0, 1}]

we have to bring the mouse pointer to the right upper corner of the object to get the hint called "Show Animation Controls" and then click it to see the animation controls like play, step forward etc. Is there a way by setting some options to get all the animation controls OPEN by default so that when one opens a notebook containing dynamic object the animation controls remains open?

Anybody knows such a magic option in Mathematica?

As suggested the following code from documentation center

Manipulator[0.3, Appearance -> "Open"]

looks fine and does suits my purpose but how the same can be done with in the following? How can we keep the animation control in Manipulate open by default?

Manipulate[Plot[Sin[a x + b], {x, 0, 6}], {a, 1, 4}, {b, 0, 10}]

This was my actual question that still baffles me unfortunately.

Answer 1

For example, Manipulator[Dynamic[x], {0, 2}, Appearance \[Rule] "Open"].

Can you give more details on what you are trying to do?

EDIT: Does this

Manipulate[
  Plot[Sin[a x + b], {x, 0, 6}],
   {a, 1, 4, Appearance \[Rule] "Open"}, {b, 0, 10, Appearance \[Rule] "Open"}]

do what you want?
