I am trying LBC again - looking good
« on: December 10, 2010, 04:22 AM »
As an avid user of FARR and Screenshot Captor, I thought I would try LBC again.  I have tried it several times over the years but didn't like it.  I recently have given Rocket Dock a whirl but didn't like it so I uninstalled it.  So I figured I would give LBC a real chance this time.  And I am liking it really well!   :Thmbsup:  Congrats Mouse on another fine product!

But how do I move it to the side instead of the top.  If it try to move it by "toggle docking" then it is a small window and if I stretch it clear out from top to bottom it then covers my "start button".  Am I doing something wrong or maybe it needs a restart of the computer??

thanks!

music to my ears.

  • doesn't need a restart.
  • just toggle docking
  • then MOVE it to the top of screen, where it will dock and extend itself to full width.
  • then resize it vertically to the size you desire.

that is what I have tried.  But shouldn't it move the windows over so it doesn't sit on top of the open window?

hmmm.  maybe I need to close my window and reopen it.  I just kept waiting for it to adjust.  I will try that when I am on that computer this evening.
