I create a new information window and add some stuff to it. Fine so far, but after I save it, I can't move it or close it. I right click in the window or drag the title bar and nothing changes. What have I missed????

In order to prevent accidental clicking on windows when you are trying to manipulate the clickable cockpit switches instead, it is needed to first alt-click on the window to bring it into focus.

From that point on you can customize, delete, edit, move or resize the window.

Keep in mind that:
a) if you want to move it around the title bar must be enabled
b) in order to resize it the borders must be enabled

Let me know if this helps.

I tried this to no avail. It is a grey rectangle bane with no border at top or any information. I can still create a new info window and delete it or move it. But this pane cannot be moved or deleted.

To move it you need to enable the Title Bar first.

1) Alt-left click to select the info window
2) right click the selected window
3) select Customize from the menu
4) in the left hand pane change the value of the Title property from Hidden to Visible
5) click Save

you will now be able to move the info window.

To delete the window just select Close from the menu in step 3

Hello development team.
Info winows are perfect. You can put there what you want, you can do with window what you want, only one thing is missing.
Simply, posibility close or open windows by one klick without changes of your first setting.
Could you think about implementation of it?

That would be useful for screenshots, just a "hide/restore info windows" toggle without changing their configuration. Good idea ;-)
