When I double-click on the pattern, it opens a limited "swatch options" instead of pattern options. (Illustrator CS5.1)

It just lets me name the swatch instead of all the effects in the video... How can I open the pattern options window instead of "swatch options"?

I'm using Illustrator CS5 and I don't have the pattern options window. I searched it around and also can't find it. Maybe it is only on Illustrator CS6

Yeah, didn't find that either in CS5. Must be CS6 and later only.
