RealBand 2016 with Dec 03/2015 update. The Okay | Cancel | Help buttons at the bottom of every Preference Dialog Window is silhouetted (or opaque) behind my task bar/quick launch tray. Even after I drag the window all the way to the top of my screen. No way to resize and no clicking on anything will bring the window to the front and allow me to click on OKAY|CANCEL|HELP buttons at the bottom of any Preference Window.
Only way for me to close Preference Dialog windows is to click in the very last box I can reach and then TAB KEY my way to the OKAY button which is difficult to see because, as I said, it's silhouetted (or opaque) behind other icons in my task bar or quick launch tray. Then hit Enter key on my QWERTY.
Windows 8.1
Solution anyone?

you could always try hiding your taskbar by right-click on the taskbar and select properties to adjust how the taskbar behaves.

Or you could try changing the resolution of your display.

I don't think BIAB or RB is resizeable itself.

My previous versions (2011) do not have this issue on same computer and monitor. 2011 is installed on harddrive only. 2016 version both installed on harddrive and also running from external BIAB harddive issue still exists.
I hope to keep my tool bar/quick launch open since I often pop things open from there like Audacity, Windows Media Player, a Word Document or sheet music I am reading while I punch chords into BIAB. Makes it easy to click and pop open/close as needed.
Thanks for the recommendations though.
Maybe this could be a wishlist/fix topic since there is a whole lot of empty space at the bottom of each Preference Dialog.

If you set the taskbar to auto hide it will hide but as you move your mouse down it will pop up and allow you to launch audacity
you must be using a 1280x720 resolution I think they designed it for 768 minimum

If it is not adjusted in the next build here is a diy alternative
real band is written in delphi so you can easily edit the appearance
by editing the realband.exe rcdata with a free resource editor
http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/

---------------------------------------

make a backup copy of realband.exe
now open realband.exe in the resource editor
now go down and click on RCData now click the arrow to open the folder
go down the the the TTABBEDPREFERENCESDLG
now change the values to the new ones
go up to Action and click Compile
got to File Save As RealBand 720.exe
if it is the correct size for you when you run RealBand 720.exe then just rename it RealBand.exe

--------------------------------------

here is the info that makes the window
the bold is the new value to change to
make the window a bit smaller 640
move the OK Cancel Help buttons up a bit 615
make the page size a bit smaller 610
