Default How to get Mixer window to float?
How do you get the Mixer window in PT9 to float on top of other applications, in Windows 7?

Thanks

It can only float within the Pro Tools main window. What are you attempting to do? Maybe someone has a solution

Just trying to get the mixer to float outside that screen, so I don't have to pull the PT9 Window across both monitors. OSx PT9 allows you to do this, but I guess WIN7 does not.

Thank you!

Can't comment on Macs but you are correct that Windows does not allow for this. Is there some issue with dragging the main window across both monitors?

To be slightly more accurate, it's not Windows that doesn't allow for this, it's Avid.

What about Bob Nagy's program, Skootch?

Cheers,

Cheers,
It works for some cases. For me, it didn't do what I needed. For that I need aAvid to wake up to the present, and provide a proper window management.

The solution is simple. Drag the edges of the parent window to fill both screens. Then spot and size the MIX and EDIT windows where you like and close with Alt-F4.

I appreciate the feedback, thanks albee. However, that's exactly what I'm trying to get away from.
Thanks though
