Position and appearance

Use the context menu of the bar or of the icon in the notification area to configure the appearance. The same settings apply whichever menu you open.

Menu option	Effect
Always on top	Keeps the bar above ordinary application windows.
Hide border	Removes the visible frame for a smaller visual footprint.
Horizontal mode	Shows the drives in a row when enabled; arranges them vertically when disabled.
Snap to borders	Aligns the bar to the screen edges when it is moved.
Opacity	Controls how solid or transparent the bar appears.
Hide LED bar / Show LED bar	Hides or restores the bar without exiting the application.

Drag the bar to move it. Choose a location that leaves frequently used buttons and text visible. If the bar is distracting, lower its opacity or hide it temporarily from the context menu.

DriveLED has display resources for light, dark and high-contrast Windows themes. Its context menu does not contain the settings dialog with the General and Updates pages that some other O&O tools use.

Display preferences and the position of the bar are saved for later sessions.
