Editing User Interface (section)

== Tactical Map in Background ==
{{VersionIntro|1.0.0}}

This option controls whether the Tactical Map window stays behind other windows after opening new UI panels from it.
C# does not have a starting menu bar in the same way as VB6.<br>
Instead, the Tactical Map is the main game window.<br>
Once the Tactical Map is open however, both VB6 and C# have a similar issue.
Assume you have the Tactical Map on maximised and you open the Economics window.<br>
That window is now on top of the Tactical Map.<br>
Now you click the button on the Tactical Map to open the Fleet Window.<br>
While that is on top of the Tactical Map, the existing Economics window is now behind the Tactical Map because clicking on the button gave the tactical map focus and therefore precedence over the existing Economics window.<br>
Which means if you want to see both Economics and Fleet at the same time you need to manually bring Fleet to the front (or move Economics to a second monitor before clicking the Fleet button).
Therefore C# now has an option called ‘Keep Tactical in Background’.<br>
While this is active, after pressing the toolbar button on the Tactical Map, the new window will open and then the Tactical Map will move to the background, leaving all other windows in front of it and the newly opened one on top.
