Description
This is an on/off switch that determines the relative
position of the dashboard window.
Off causes the dashboard to become a standard win-
dow. It can be placed in front of or behind other
windows on the desktop.
On causes the dashboard to become the top window
when possible. The system determines whether the
dashboard belongs on top of a currently active win-
dow. For full screen programs and pop-up windows,
the system places the dashboard immediately
behind these active windows. For normal programs
running in a standard window with a caption, the
dashboard is the top window.
You can set this control only when the Stay On Top
option is on. When on, this control places the dash-
board on the active window's title bar, provided it
meets the Stay On Top criteria.
The dashboard initially aligns itself to the left of the
minimize button, but can be moved to another posi-
tion on the title bar by dragging and dropping. The
background color of the dashboard matches the
active title bar color, making the battery gauges look
like part of the current caption.
