Chapter 3: Getting Started
Always on Top
By default, Dragon always appears "on top," meaning it is in the foreground of
your computer display. For the Floating DragonBar, you can change the setting
so that the DragonBar drops into the background like other window when you
maximize or open a new window large enough to hide the current one.
Note: These commands toggle the state of the Floating DragonBar. In other
words, if you use a command to turn off the Always On Top setting, and you
then say the command again, the DragonBar reverts to Always On Top.
To change the setting
1. Click on the Dragon icon on the left side of the DragonBar or right-click any-
where on the DragonBar to open the DragonBar shortcut menu.
2. Do any of the following:
n Say "Set DragonBar to Always On Top" or "Make DragonBar Always on
Top."
n On the DragonBar shortcut menu, click Always on Top.
Note
When you set the DragonBar to "Always on Top" it covers parts of other
Dragon windows, such as the DragonPad and Help screens. If necessary, you
can turn off "Always on Top" or move the windows around so that they are not
obscured.
