Simply open up the Control Strip control panel and click on the show radio button. - Remember, I painfully provided full balloon help so please use it! You will find out most of what is spoken of in this document by looking at the dialog and popup menu balloons. • Release Notes: Updated Stuff (since 2.0): - Three new powerful features have been added to the Preferences: • Drag-show is implemented for Control Strip users! If you have a show corner set, use this setting to have a small floating window appear in the selected corner. If you drag files or clippings over this window, the Strip bar will be shown and drawn, thus allowing you to drop your selection over a Strip module such as System Dropper or Trash It!, two of my favorites :) Desktop Strip users should note that the Strip will not draw itself if the item dragged is from a process not in the foreground. This isn't MY fault (it works fine with Control Strip.) • Hiding of the Strip bar during screen savers and other programs that draw over the menu bar is supported. Desktop Strip already has an option to hide while a screen saver is running, but Terminator will also automatically hide the Strip bar in programs as games and graphics applications that draw over the menu bar, when that precious monitor space really counts. Also unlike Desktop Strip's hiding feature, the Strip is not forced to stay hidden so Terminator's Show features will work just fine. Terminator's drag-show window will also be automatically hidden with this feature. • You can set modifier keys that, if held while you click on a window, the window will be told to close. This is the same functionality as in my freeware CloseIt! extension except for the fact that you can set the modifier keys and you can hide the Strip bar simply by clicking on it. Also, if you close a window from a program not in the foreground, it will switch back to the program that you were in. Desktop Strip users should note that clicking on the Strip with the set modifiers held down will NOT hide the Strip. This again isn't MY fault (it works fine with Control Strip.) - The key combo recognition has been totally redone to provide greater support for international keyboards. It can now also distinguish between normal keys and keypad keys. The key combo recognition will not pay any attention to whether the caps lock key is down or not anymore. - Added back the Shut Down menu item by popular demand. - Forgot to mention in version 2.0's documentation that you can override all of the Strip showing features by holding down the Control key. Now you know. - Fixed a weird problem with the Preferences …
