whisker menu search field top bottom

#1 Post by MX_GRD »

On my MX-21 the search field is at the top of the whisker menu.
On my MX-23 the search field is at the bottom of the whisker menu.
Searched the manual, youtube, and forum, could not find setting to move the MX-23 search field to the top.

Right click on the Whisker Menu (just to avoid confusion, the button not the window), click "Properties", then "Appearance" Tab, and uncheck "Position search entry on bottom".

Worked! the difference was the "Position search entry next to panel button" on MX-23.
Thanks again; marked SOLVED.
