Newbie has lost title/tab bar

[st...@sbrecher.com]

Somehow I've lost the title bar and, although I've searched the Preferences, I haven't been able to get it back.

I'm referring to the horizontal bar at the top of a window by which the window can be moved with the mouse.

[st...@sbrecher.com]

Newbie found it again after changing Preferences::Profiles::Window::Style from Right of Screen to Normal. I don't understand why these are mutually exclusive, but then I'm not paid to.

They’re mutually exclusive exactly because normal windows have a title bar so you can move them around, while right/left/top/bottom-of-screen windows are only resizable.

So I inferred. I guess I should put it this way: I don't (yet) see a way to specify my preference, i.e., to always open the first window on the right, with a title bar, regardless of positions(s) in previous sessions.

You can set the default window style for a profile here:

Yes, but I don't see what I can choose from  that menu  to get both on the right and a title bar.

[George Nachman]

Since the title bar would not allow you to drag the window, x-of-screen windows always omit the title bar. Out of curiosity what do you want it for? Just to see the title?

I'm missing something -- the title bar is a "drag with mouse" handle, is it not? And that's why I want it -- to easily move the window when the occasional need arises.

[George Nachman]

Right-of-screen windows aren’t movable, though. So that’s why they don’t have a drag handle. Are you looking for a window you could move up and down while keeping it stuck to the right side?

No, I'm looking for a window with a title bar that opens on the right side but that can be moved to the left if the need arises.

[George Nachman]

Oh, so what you want is more like a normal window whose initial position is configurable to the right side?

Initial position is definitely a missing piece at the moment.
