Hi,

Title says it all, for a couple of days it just stays between the title bar and window edges of FTP. I tried the force ontop option but it didn't work. Is this related to a recent FTP update?

(version 1.11.06b, NL cash, win xp)

Waiting for suggestions.

Thanks.

If you change the "overhang pixels" value at hud options--> table preferences
it's even possible to place the HUD entirely OUTSIDE of the table window.

Try changing the value to 500, to test if you then can place the HUD on the title bar.

Thanks for the answer Patvs but it still goes under the title bar with the 500 setting (with or w/o force ontop).

Did you restart HM after changing this value?

Please post a screenshot of a table and your table preferences.

Yes, restarting didn't help.

Odd, can you try to move other hud stats onto the title bar?

Yes, can't do it with any of them. In fact without the overhang pixels thing it would go under the title bar but now it can't go further than the edges.

We need to test it later today. I will report back.

I was able to reproduce it and will forward it as a bug.

Please try increasing your overhang. This worked for me on FTP.

The general point of the overhang is to help people with smaller tables, once the tables exceed a certain amount of pixels in width the overhang wont work (think the max overhang is 1000-1200 which means if the table exceeds 1000-1200 pixels you get no overhang, if you set it to 1000 and your table is 600 wide you will have 200 pixels eitherside for overhang).
There are a few pixel rulers you can google - the one i used is called Pixel Ruler and is free.

This worked.

I tried setting it to 1000 before but maybe I forgot to restart the table manager then.

Thanks.
