Re: panel prelight on focus

[Andrew Coulam <aigiskos yahoo com>]

Is there any way for the panel to know what edge it's
on?  So, if the panel is on the bottom of the screen,
put the title bar on top; if it's on the top of the
screen, put the title bar on the bottom; etc. (Can you
put the panel in the middle of the screen?  If so,
make the default title bar location on top.).
