Probably a dumb question..

Sorry if this is noob level stuff... how do I modify it so that when I click on the title bar of a window, it comes to the front? Im running WB3.5. I cant even locate the commodities drawer. <sigh>

Hi xlar54,

You can't do that in Workbench, it doesn't work like M$ Windows. You have to send the Windows in front of it to the back by clicking on the gadget in the top-right corner.

Prowler is right, but you'll surely find commodities in the "Tools" drawer, and "Click 2 front" should be hanging around there (at least it is in both my 3.1 and 3.9 partitions, hope 3.5 is not an exception ^^). You can drop it into the WB Startup drawer if you want it to run every time you boot.

and dont forget to modify QUALIFIER to "NONE" otherwise there might be predefined something like "ALT" and thats pretty weird

(well it can suits someone, but not me for sure)

Actually, you can

I don't know about WB3.5, but WB3.0 comes with the program ClickToFront which can be found in the SYS:Tools/Commodities drawer. I don't use it, because I use MCP, but if you're not using such a multi utility, WB3.0 can still do it

Edit:

Forget this, I missed rockersukes post which says the same thing

FreeWheel also does this (click-to-front).
