How can I do? I couldn't find any line in the config file that seems to match.

This button always remains visible. If you set the panel visibility to "Follow Mouse", the panel appears when you move the mouse near the screen edge and is hidden when the mouse is away. The config file entry is called "toolbar_pos"; but it's a bitset and should not be edited manually. Top Quote

Be sure I tried really all I could before to ask. The actual parameter of Toolbar_pos is "4". Maybe a bug but as I'm not sure, I prefer ask before to send a bug report. And the speed is not 1, normally I have to see "Pause" La connaissance ne vaut que si elle est partagée par le plus grand nombre. --------------------------------------- Knowledge is only valuable if it is shared by the greatest number.

I expected a 'switch' between 'hidden' and 'visible'. Sorry to have bothered you for so little.

In older Widelands versions (before dropdowns existed) there were toggle buttons instead to cycle through choices in menus one click at a time… those were horrible… Top Quote

Personally I'll understand immediately, but it is only me. I understood "Pinned" like "not movable". But it is only me again. ,) La connaissance ne vaut que si elle est partagée par le plus grand nombre. --------------------------------------- Knowledge is only valuable if it is shared by the greatest number.
