anchoring control panel?

Post by stainlessbrown »

Is there anyway to make the control panel "stay put"?

I have it floating over my sequence editor. If I click outside of the dP windows, it disappears until I click back on

not a huge thing...

it just bugs me that it does that

I'm funny that way I guess

If you turn floating off it won't disappear on you.

that seems to keep it on top of the DP window... but if I click on Safari (on a different monitor), the DP windows remain except the control panel it disappears until I click back on a DP window

again not a huge deal if this is how it functions....

one of those odd things I suddenly dwell upon

thanks

That's how it acts if you have floating on. If you turn it off the control panel will not disappear when you click to other apps. At least that's the way it is here.

it doesn't disappear, but it goes 'behind' if I'm clicking on something on the same monitor

it is what it is....

I thought you said a different monitor. Yeah, if the other app's window is positioned over it on the same monitor, for sure it will be blocked from view.
