MailTicker location
 
I've posted about this topic in the past but never nailed it down.
I'm setting up a second computer with The Bat and so this issue has come up again.

I discovered that I can drag the MailTicker to any location on the screen and The Bat will remember that position.
But only for the session that The Bat is open for.

So after e-mails are read, the ticker disappears, as it should and will reappear in the same position the next time
new e-mail arrives.

But The Bat's memory is short-term only it seems.
When I start The Bat again it shows the MailTicker in the bottom right corner again.

Can we lock the position of the MailTicker on screen and not need to mess with it for each session?

This is what I found in a Help file:
"The width of this visual indicator as well as its position on the screen can be easily changed using the mouse."
 
The first thing I do when freshly installing TB is turn off the ticker :D

That being said, looking at the registry (HKEY_USERS/.../SOFTWARE/RIT/The Bat!/Ticker/), these seem to be some keys you can play with. "Left" and "Top" are good candidates for defining its position in pixels.

Thanks Milos.

I might check out the registry if I have to.
In the meantime The Bat has just changed its behavior, strangely enough.
For the first time, today, it remembered the position I had been placing the ticker for the past week.
Let's hope it remembers it also tomorrow.  :)
 
I used to have a program that would fail to remember the position of sub-process windows if they were partly off the screen. They had to be positioned entirely within the desktop window. Could something like that have been the problem?
