- That depends on the virtual screen product. The one included with hDC's
- Power Launcher allows you to designate any window as "Always in View", which
- means they will always be in the current screen. Power Toolbox's toolbox
- comes up with this "Always in View" turned on by default. WideAngle has
- "traveling windows", a similar concept. Not sure about the Amish virtual
- screen product.
-
- As far as whether you can put the "global" and "app-specific" toolboxes
- into separate windows, I'm afraid you can't - I'll take it as an enhancement
- request for the next version though!
