All of those are the same reasons I never used BibleCS (doesn't support that ability) and didn't use GS either (I don't think it supported it at the time I tried or leastways I never heard about it nor found it) so I used Bibletime, which came close. My preferred ability is to have every window - scripture, commentary, etc - default to a free floating frame that I can move anywhere on my screen. It's nice to hear that Xiphos supports something close to this now. I might go back and give it a try to see if I like it now! --Greg _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
