Hi. I assume that the most convenient way to read books with dictionary is when the book is on top of the screen, and lookup window is below. I would say the standard top-to-bottom windows alignment in Windows should do fine.
The problem is that the lookup window when detached is on top of the ereader (it's called modal windows, if I'm not mistaken). Is there any way to do that? |

It's not a modal window, its a docked window and its mostly meant to be be used side by side with the book.

I can also undock it with a special button, right? So when I undock it, it would be really convenient to put it below, because all dictionary sites I use are showing ads on the left of the screen, so it takes much more space on the screen. Another reason is that I have a wide screen which I turn 90 degrees, and it's great to have normal boom page on top, and lookup window below, just like a reference with an explanation, like in a paper book. |

Whats preventing you from docking it below?? simply drag and drop it into the lower part of the window to dick it below

thanks, it worked. Though it turns out that neither of the ways is convenient - those websites have big headers(( Do you plan to have offline dictionaries like in FBreader for Android? See screenshot |
