Is it possible? I have a separate window control for logging, called UI_logwindow and on this window I have an output control called output_logging.

I have both this window and the output control set to "Default". Nothing else is set to default.

Yet for some reason this window always displays behind (under) my main game window. Even when I select it or set focus to it, it remains behind the main window! I have to resize my windows until they can display side by side just to view it.

I have tried setting "focus=true" on both UI_logwindow and output_logging. This changes focus, yet the window remains in the background. I have also tried clicking the little "bring forward" button dozens of times to see if that makes a difference. Am I missing something, or is this a feature that is not available in BYOND?

Cheers,

BigJMoney	Nevermind, I solved this. By luck I kept avoiding the combination of "Default" settings necessary to make this work. The solution was to make UI_logwindows NOT default, but output_logging BE the default. This works nicely too, because I can now minimize the log window. Huzzah!
