Transport controls

Hi every one, I've been using cakewalk sonar etc for about 10 years or so but thought i'd try out this reaper thing. I've got it all set up now and I must say its gooood!! the only thing that's bugging me is having the transport controls on the bottom. Is there any way to get them on the top of the screen and stay there?

you could add the transport control actions to you main toolbar for example. options -> customize menus/toolbar choose the main toolbar add -> look for the transport control action you want and double click it choose a nicer icon for it save I'm sure there are more intelligent ways, but that is how I did it ;)

You can "undock" the Transport. Just right click on the docked transport and unselect "Dock Transport in Main Window" from the dropdown menu. Now it is "floating" and you can resize it and place it anywhere on the desktop. REAPER will remember where you last placed it when you reopen the app. I have my "F1" key assigned to toggle it on/off. Similar to SONAR's "F4" transport shortcut. REAPER's "Actions" are simliar to SONAR's "Keybindings" except REAPER takes it even further and allows you to string actions together and create your own macros. A very powerful REAPER feature. PS: If you get stuck, virtually everything in REAPER can be accessed by simply right mouse clicking on an area and choosing the available options from the applicable drop down menu.

anyone know of a way to make the undocked transport a little bigger ??
