Where did the current location box go?

[Don Maddox]

I unchecked the current location info box and now I can't seem to find a way to get it back. Am I missing something here or what?

Okay, I just found it.


To correct this while in the game please do the following:
Reduce the size of the main window so it doesn't take up the entire screen.

Then click and hold on the title bar and drag the main window to another section of the destop...

this will expose the information window and you can then recheck the "stay on top" option.

I then arrange my windows so that the info window is on the right side and the main window takes up the bulk of the rest of the screen. Then I can again unselect that option and be able to toggle between the two by clicking on the appropriate title bars.

Scenario DesignerNow I got it. It's still annoying that this box doesn't have a minimize command. There should be some way to get it out of the way until you need it. Perhaps Scott could place a command on the toolbar to do this. That way we can toggle it on and off at will.

Here's another update from Scott:

BTW: You’ll be happy to know a command to do this has already been added (to the main menu) in the first patch. :-)

Can't ask for better than that.

I have a suggestion. The “current location” info box has a lot of useful information in it, but it also has a tendency to get in the way. Turning off the option to always stay on top isn’t very useful during games play because it’s a pain to get it back. How about making a command to minimize this window? Right now it’s cumbersome to work with. I have a very big monitor on high res, but this could be a real problem for users running in 1024x768 on a smaller monitor.


Hi Don,

Thanks - I got this one in the first patch. I put the Minimize and Close system buttons on the form and you can bring it up from the main menu (or Ctrl-H as the hot key).
