Style Options

The Style tab is automatically displayed when you choose the Display command from the Options menu (Alt + O, D). It contains the following options:

Normal TuxTime displays like any other Window. It can be moved, iconized, or covered by other open Windows.
Always On Top TuxTime displays on top of all other open Windows, even when iconized, unless the other window is also an "Always On Top" application.
On Title Bar TuxTime displays in the title bar of the current active window in the format selected from the Modules tab (bargraph, percent, or time). If you change to a different window (making it active), TuxTime moves with you. The active window must be large enough to accommodate the TuxTime display. Due to the limited space on title bars, you may wish to choose not to display the TuxTime title and menu bar.

Note: When using the On Title Bar or Always on Top modes, the TuxTime window is normally displayed as a topmost window. However, when TuxTime detects that a full screen application is running without a title bar, such as a screen saver or slide presentation, TuxTime temporarily removes its topmost status so as not to interfere with the full screen display.

The On Title Bar options are available when the On Title Bar option is selected in the Window Behavior section. The On Title Bar options are:

Always left
justified
Display the TuxTime Window at the leftmost edge of the active Window title bar.

Display the TuxTime Window at a user specified place on the active Window title bar. You can reposition the TuxTime window along an applications title bar by using the following steps:(1) Make sure TuxTime is configured to display its title bar - click on the Toggle Title Bar button if necessary.(2) Click on the TuxTime title bar and drag it to a new position along the applications title bar.TuxTime will do its best to keep the same relative offset along all title bars. However, when the applications title bar is too small or cannot otherwise accomodate the setting, TuxTime will adjust its position accordingly.

The Title Bar options include:

Regular Display the MaxTime title bar and menu bar normally. This option is available when any of the primary style options are selected.
Mini Collapse the MaxTime title bar and menu bar. This option is available when the Normal or Always on Top style options are selected. To re-display the title and menu bar, double-click the display area.
None Display no title or menu bar. This option is available only when the On Title Bar style option is selected. To re-display the title and menu bar, click on the Toggle Title Bar button  /  (if AC adapter is connected) to the left of the display area. (Note: You can also double-click the display area to re-display the title and menu bar.)
