TonyN Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Paint.NET is fabulous but how can I keep drop down menus to one side and not directly over the photo I am working on every time I open one, please ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRON67 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) I don't understand the problem. The pulldown/dropdown menu is only visible until you have choosen an effect. Then it's gone. The effect window pops up and you can drag it to another place. Edited March 28, 2017 by IRON67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRON67 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) @Pixey That's not a drop down menu. That's a popup window. You may notice the X for closing the window in the upper-right corner. Edited March 28, 2017 by IRON67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that you have not read the original poster's mind figured out that they where talking about effect windows and not menus.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 TonyN is visiting us from Spain. He may not have English as his first language. I believe that Pixey and BoltBait made the connection: TonyN is talking about the Effect dialogs opening in the center of the screen. @TonyN The dialog opens in the center of the screen by design. You can't change that. What you can do is move the dialog by dragging it by the title bar (the blue strip in Pixey's image).

Ketenks Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hey I know the post is a little old but I wanted to bring it back for another vote for the feature. You could have this as a global setting where all popup windows popup in a specific spot. Why not? Editing something a thousand times to learn what everything is doing could be a lot better having them all pop up in the same place. I have the same frustration with it. I end up using 10 different effects and undoing each of them before I find what I was looking for and then I do them all over again for the next effect. It's definitely tedious moving them all to the corner every time. And if you have to do something every time well, that's what a computer is for!

ziatype Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Having to drag popup windows out of the way so I can see the changes I'm making is frustrating. My work flow would be so much more efficient if this was finally addressed in a new build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
