Title: Screen Lock
Post by: jediknight2 on October 05, 2015, 07:27:59 AM

I'd like to see a lock option that stops the main program window from accepting the movement of windows within the main window.  Right now if I drag the preview window, etc around and drop it...most of the time I'm inadvertent docking it into the main window...which isn't what I was trying to do.

All that panel docking functionality is done by a wxWidgets module called AUI (Advanced User Interface).  I really don't know enough about it to know what behaviors we can change.  We already have one issue where closing a panel doesn't put the focus back to one of our windows and I've looked into fixing that and can't make any headway.

Not a priority for sure...but I find my self chasing the window especially when I'm trying to resize it and move it somewhere...the main window just sucks it up and I pull it back out. For now, I'm just using another monitor and pulling the window over there.

I have a perfectly good computer with a single monitor (and not a huge one) and I can't work on Nutcracker there. I'm so completely spoiled by dual monitors. Those people dealing with single screen laptop setups have my deepest sympathy.

I've done 90% of my sequencing on my laptop.  I try to not even open xLights on my 27" dual setup at the office because I don't want to know what I'm missing.

I've found this to be a major struggle too as I'm stuck with a single screen laptop setup. It would be great if there was a solution to this.
