Toolbar strangeness

[neville]

Just relaunched OxTLite to find the toolbar a quarter of the way down the screen, instead of attached to the menu bar. This is Mac Sequoia 15.3.1 Don't know if this has been caused by the Mac OS update or something I did in OxTLite. Presumably the latter because throwing away the xTalk folder in the Library/Preferences seems to have fixed it. But I don't know what else I have thrown away.

Seems like there ought to be a housekeeping fix fix .. if someone could tell me where the toolbar stack gets initialised?

And also where can I turn off that *really* annoying "Refactor" dialog that appears every time I launch OxTLite?

Oooer: how about a screen shot?

None of what you describe 'over here' on MacOS 15.4 beta 3 INTEL with OXT Lite 1.10 (all patches applied).

The toolbar is the revMenubar stack.
You can reset your preferences via the preferences dialog:

That way, you won't risk throwing out something else you might have copied into various folders.

If you find MacOS is still giving you issues though, you can tweak the offset manually:
preferences > compatibility

You've got me stumped there. As Richmond says, can you provide a screenshot please?

Thanks for the replies, particularly the on where toolbar parameters etc can be controlled. Always good to know where to dig in to the innards and fix/break things.

As for the Refactor dialog, of course now that I am asked to provide a screenshot it doesn't happen any more. Most likely whatever was causing it has gone away when I reset the Preferences. Whatever, I am just thankful it has gone.

And I think I know what caused the odd positioning of the toolbar. Last night I wanted to show a slide show on my TV by mirroring the computer screen on the TV via appleTV. I had not quit OxT so it was still running in the background. At one point the image on the computer glitched by shifting to an odd position, maybe triggered by the different geometry of the TV screen or something. To fix it I had to restart and quitting OxT presumably saved a preference offset for the toolbar. So basically a macOS bug, and not something very likely to bother any other OxT users
