Fabulous Leo, thanks so much. I'll play around with it. This will greatly simplify managing realestate. How do ppl even mange w/o DO? Being able to move around in windows easily is an absolute necessity in my world.
Thanks Leo, John...I've looked and looked. I can't seem to find how to enter set command for a lister. How do I enter the set command? I've searched the help files and online. It must be something so obvious it's not listed/but it's not obvious to me. Please remember I am dyslexic so I don't always see something that is perfectly obvious to someone else.
It works like any other command, you can set up a button or hotkey to run it. Or press > to display the command-line and type it in as an ad-hoc command.
Okay, this is fabulous. Took a bit but going over the directions slowly and repeatedly it finally all clicked. Just takes me a bit to 'see'.
Leo your recommendation of 1000/700 is the perfect size...purrfect grin.
Two more questions...how do I make it on/off? And how do I assign an icon? All I see is assign an image.
In all these years of using and loving Opus new possibilities open up which is very challenging and rewarding for me. I honestly don't understand how anyone using windows manages w/o it and I don't even begin to understand all the abilities.

@toggle:if Set LISTERCMD=OnTopOn @icon:#default:favorites,LISTERCMD=OnTopOn @icon:smiley,LISTERCMD=OnTopOff @if:Set LISTERCMD=OnTopOn
Set LISTERCMD=OnTopOff @if:Else
Set LISTERCMD=OnTopOn
This is a little VB Macro I have been using to change the size of Listers.
It gives you a list of Lister widths to choose, and sets the depth in proportion. (It is easy to change the proportion if it does not suit your needs.)
Obviously the widths will depend om your screen size and your personal choice, but they are really easy to alter in the code.
If it is useful please fell free to bend it to your needs.
More time to reply now. I would love to have buttons (like the one you helped with for toggle on top/toggle off) for few opus window sizes. Sometimes I have 4 windows on screen/sometimes less. Being able to adjust window size on the fly would just be so convenient.
I've been studying the brain for a bit now and have a greater understanding of how brains register/perceive stimulation (audio, visual) so more aware of what I don't see and work arounds, just takes me a bit longer. When I finally 'see' something it's always such a high 5 moment. Learning is fun.
appreciate your help...always do

Oh gosh, this is impressive. The depth in proportion is spot on.
When you say alter in code...where would I find the code?
I won't tie you up with macro lessons...but would like to understand a bit more of how this is put together to broaden my understanding.
thanks again,

Go back in customise mode, right click on the icon and select edit. It should be straightforward from there.
Alternatively, hold down 'alt' and left click the button to go directly into edit mode (this will only work if Preferences / Toolbars / Options / Alt-Click to edit Toolbar buttons is turned on).
This tutorial is very well written. Reading it now and it is making sense/as much as it can being an entirely new language. I'm looking forward to digesting this/seeing new things. Way back in the day when pc's were still pretty new (win 98 first edition) I drug home discarded pc's in droves. Took them apart until I understood how they work so I could build my own. PC's off the shelf have sub-quality parts. The only reason I ever need to build a new pc is the parts become too hard to find. If built right they just don't doa. There was a fello in the small hamlet near here/retired IBM from the original coding group. He taught me a lot. Back then the going fallacy was you could mix ram speeds. I could always 'feel' something wasn't right (each pc has a definite unique feel) and suspected ram. Mel explained 'racing' and even tho talking milliseconds it adds up until the os starts feeling unstable. It's the reason I love opus so much/bc it is so incredibly well written and 'feels' rock solid/crisp. Back then money was tight (non profit animal sanctuary) but I knew opus was what I had to have and eventually was able to buy a license. If there was to be any true enjoyment with the pc the explorer part was essential. There were other file explorers out there but none held a candle to opus and still don't imho. On top of everything opus does, the gui is fully customizable which means it can be as beautiful as one wants. I know win 10 is very popular but I'm not interested. Win 7 (modified version) is visually superior (and few other areas) /metro bleh. The intentions behind win 10 are questionable imho...but that is another subject.
