# Move the desktop panel between screens

CueSpec’s desktop panel can be dragged between screens, and the reviewed release improves title-area and surrounding-space dragging. Use the visible drag area rather than an interactive button.

## Place it where you work
Open the panel and drag from its title or nearby blank area. Move it toward the screen where you want to monitor tasks. The panel is designed to settle near the top and retain your selected position.

Avoid grabbing text fields or action buttons, because those have their own interactions. If a title is long, use available blank space instead of assuming every pixel in the heading is a drag handle.

## Check display-specific behavior
Monitor geometry, scaling and the MacBook camera area can affect placement. A successful two-screen move does not establish every display arrangement or full-screen application behavior.

If the panel becomes difficult to reach, note the display arrangement and whether screens were connected or removed. Reproduce with a simple window layout and preserve a screenshot of the geometry. This is a desktop placement feature, separate from multi-computer support; moving to a second monitor does not route work to another machine.
