Setting up windows in 6.5

Postby bruce73 » Tue Dec 31, 2013 7:45 pm

For the life of me I can't get NB(6.50CR4 - Build 3121) to look like I used to have. I keep several windows tabbed at the bottom (File list, Downloaded files, Servers, etc.), but none of these can be pinned; they remain on autohide. Up top, I normally have the Groups on the left and the Search window on the right which is where the Download lists are created. I keep trying different things, but it's either all Search or all Groups, tabbed at the top. Has the styling method changed? Or am I just a dummy?

I'd use the options to "reset display on restart" then then restart to get back to the default setup. Then work from there.

I have the same problem. Fooling with it on and off all day.
The tabs at the bottom for downloading files is contained inside of a bar with, Logging, failed files, ect.
It will not separate from the bar without not being a tab.
I was able to hover over the downloading files tab and it would pop up full screen, then hover over the tabs at the top Group list and it would pop up full screen also.
I have done the following numerous times the Lock the display lockout is not locked, reset display layout on restart and switched from floating, dockable, autohide and none of it is working like I think it should be. I don't even know what the meaning of floating, dockable, autohide mean anymore.

So if anybody can tell me how to fix this pls let me know.

Same answer for you. Reset to default and try again.

You can only move individual tabs when the who group of tabs is pinned and not auto-hide.

Like I've said I've done it numerous times still the same.
I installed the new update when this started 6.51B1.
I have reinstalled the update and done all of the above restarts and still the same.
Until today. Restarted newsbin. Low and behold it is back the way it was. I did nothing different from
yesterday.
