Default Re: Is this possible??

Give the Iconify button a try. It hides the entire TB window and puts a little square TB button in the top/left corner of the screen. I just tried it and my TB window was not set to stay on top of other windows. So the window behind it came on top when it clicked on it and stayed on top even if I restored the TB window. So, you may need to set your profile to Stay on Top.

Also, there is a Ctrl-Shift-Alt-I keyboard combination button that toggles it to an icon and back. I just tried it and it worked.

Look in the touchbuddy.cfg file:

Quote:
#====================

# Hotkey definitions
#
# Enable/disable creation and use of hotkeys (set this to 0 if you dont want them to do anything)
enable_hotkeys = 1
# These hotkey definituons are the single character to be pressed in combination with
# SHIFT +ALT + CTRL (all at the same time, plus the key in the config entries below).
# Please refer to the predef and rawkey reference HTML file (in the docs directory)
# to obtain the correct "VK_" code of the keys your require.
#
# hotkey_tb_tab will show the window, and select the *TB* tab
hotkey_tb_tab = VK_T
#
# hotkey_iconify will allow you to toggle between the iconified and normal state of
# the Touch window
hotkey_iconify = VK_I
#
#====================
I also just saw these settings for Transparency. Check them on your system too.

Quote:
#====================
# Enable/Disable the use of the "Iconfift" window (set to 0 to disable)
enable_icon_window = 1
#
# Enable/Disable the ability to use Transparency/Transluceny on tabs (set to 0 to disable)
enable_transparent_tabs = 1
#====================
PS: And do you know about the touchbuddy-local.cfg file? Put any settings create this file if you don't have it, and copy any settings you want to change from the default values into this file. TB will use the settings in this local file to override the values in the touchbuddy.cfg. That way when you download a new version of TB, the new touchbuddy.cfg file will not overwrite all of your custom settings.
