I finally decided I want an icon on my screen to enable/disable the top overlay. I don't care where it ends up, one of the floating toolbars or the main toolbar. I'm looking at the process list and can't seem to find one to do the trick. I also looked in the help and on the site. No luck yet.

Heh heh. I actually don't do too much customizing (I probably should) and their docs aren't so good in this area... At least I figured out how to put this in there (the stuff before the section you just handed to me): DesignName=\system\templates.ddb | DocumentName=macros\ToggleTopOverlay.bas |
