Hello…
I wish to put left (grid, coordinates …) and right (select, ratsnets, route…) toolbars to top. Seems that positions are fixed and can’t move. As I used my monitor in portrait orientation I need that extra width and have spare height. Run in XUBUNTU, KiCad V8.0.6.
I’m afraid this isn’t currently possible. There are aspirations to make the toolbars fully configurable, but this is not yet implemented.
I have worked with a dual monitor setup for many years. One portrait monitor, for text stuff, from web browsing and reading pdf datasheets to programming, and the other in landscape for “graphical” stuff. The portrait was the default monitor, and the landscape monitor was only turned on when I actually had something to do for it. (Probably about 20% of the time, maybe less). About 3 years ago I treated myself to a 4k monitor with a 107cm diagonal, which I use in landscape, because else I get a sore neck. I still have a second (24") monitor connected next to it, and in portrait mode, but I rarely turn it on. In portrait is is almost the same height as the big monitor in landscape. With some workloads I use it to show data, such as a text editor with notes, or PDF datasheets, but the 25% extra desktop space does not really matter much overall.
When I had two small 24" monitors, working with KiCad (and FreeCAD) on the dual monitors was quite nice though.
indeed I have two 24" monitors in portrait.
Ok so I’m not blind. At sped how similar things are done in KiCad I can’t expect to be done soon.
