Application Toolbar Positioning

The application toolbar's default is vertical and I understand that it can be moved to the top. 

Where one has multiple monitors and, therefore, multiple panels, is it possible to move the location of the vertical toolbar to something other than the leftmost panel?

I am running Windows 11 with 2 ultrawide screens and would like to have the application toolbar appear on vertically on the left side of the right monitor (which is also the monitor I have designated as the main monitor under Windows).

Is there are way to tell Logos which panel the application toolbar should be in?

Thanks!

    No. There is no allowance for multiple monitors with Settings.

    It goes with the main Logos window. Which ever monitor had the main window also has the toolbar.

    I am now having to revamp all of my layouts if I want to use the vertical menu bar.

    The vertical menu bar is a great idea but not implemented particularly well.

    That's odd. I don't think I changed any of mine.

    One of these days.... I hope..... Logos will recognize that many people work with multiple monitors and allow them to have multiple instances of the main logos screen... which will greatly enhance our study ability ... In my humble opinion. 

    Until that day.... we have to create layouts and have floating panels of resources we want on the 2nd 3rd or 4th monitor... This is a work around but a clumsy work around at best.

    You have it in compact mode and still have to revamp your layouts? What specifically don't you like about the implementation - generalities don't help FL improve; specifics do.

    I have 2 ultrawide screens and, not being as young as I used to be, having the vertical menu on the far left makes it hard to read.  Having it in the centre (i.e. on the left side of the right screen makes it much easier to read as well as being easier to get to with my trackball.

    With multiple screens, it didn't really matter which side the "main" panel was on.  Now it does (for me at least), but one can't move the vertical menu between panels.  I now want the main panel in the right monitor which means I have to change all of my layouts.

    That makes perfect sense - I hope Faithlife notes the feedback. (Eli, Ali or Adam)
