What's your setting in Configuration | Colors and Styles | More Colors | Borders?

It's nice to have the new option in 19.30.0007 but the positioning of the Live Filter Box to the right of the address bar is not quite right. Notice how it touches right against the very right edge of the application window. It just looks wrong. Compare that to when you have only the address bar, and how it has a little bit of spacing to its right so that there is a little bit of padding between it and the edge of the application window.

I notice too that the boxes are misaligned by 1 pixel. My setting for Borders is 'Windows Theme Style'.

Code: Select all

v19.30.0007 - 2018-11-02 17:11
    + Live Filter Box: Now you can choose the position of the Live Filter Box. 
      Either it is shown right of the Address Bar (the new factory default), or 
      in the left end of the Status Bar (the previously hard-coded position).
      - Toggle it here:
        - Window | Arrangement | Live Filter Box in Status Bar
        - Context menu of the Status Bar
        - Context menu of various layout-related Toolbar buttons
      - If the Address Bar is hidden then the LFB automatically goes to the 
        Status Bar.
      - In Address Bar position the LFB inherits the Address Bar font.
        In Status Bar position the LFB inherits the Status Bar font.
      - The state of this setting has been added to "Window | Load Layout..." 
        and "Window | Save Layout As...".
    * Live Filter Box: Now it's shown at startup by factory default.
    * Live Filter Box: Changed the icon from a looking glass to a filter. The 
      looking glass is more commonly used for search.

Code: Select all

v19.30.0008 - 2018-11-02 19:10

All I can say is "wow"... glad to see a few others like the idea, but kudos to Don.

To have the suggestion get built into the software about a day after posting, I'm impressed! :appl:

Thanks again!
