Doesn't do what I need
« on: July 22, 2008, 09:06 AM »
 :(
I am using the Stock Ticker Tape Yahoo widget, positioned at the bottom of my screen.  I wanted to use DesktopCoral to reserve that space.  It works fine until I close the ticker.  (There isn't much need for it on the weekends or at night.)  When I restart it, it can't return to it's original position.  Am I correct in assuming that this is just the nature of the beast?

im not sure.. maybe the widget doesnt want to place itself over the coral for some reason?  if you start coral after the widget it works?

Every time I start the ticker, I have to drag it to the coral.  I think the same logic that is used when maximizing a window prevents the ticker from going back to it's original position.
