Docking options greyed out in NetWorx on Linux

Hello,
When accessing settings, the "Dock at the top" is checked and the other settings are "greyed out" (at bottom, floating on desktop). How do you gain access to these? Thanks, Regards, Fred

The docking options are Windows only, which is why they're greyed out. Dock at Top of Screen, Dock at Bottom of Screen and Floating on Desktop rely on a Windows mechanism that lets an application reserve a strip along the edge of the screen, so maximised windows don't cover it. There's no clean equivalent on macOS or Linux, and Wayland in particular gives applications no way to do it at all.

On Linux the graph window is always floating. The tick next to Dock at Top of Screen is just a quirk of the menu, not the active setting. To move the window, click and hold anywhere on it and drag it where you want it.

Sorry we can't do more on this one.
