The settings, rearranged by what they affect.

Ten tabs instead of nine. The old arrangement had a real symptom rather than an aesthetic one: the three switches deciding whether a recording, a screenshot or the virtual camera keeps its full range sat under Display — three tabs away from every one of the things they govern.

  • HDR gets a tab of its own. It is not a display setting: its source curve belongs to the card, its tone mapping to the screen, and those three switches to three other tabs.
  • Encoder splits off from Recording, and ffmpeg goes with it. Where the file goes and how big is a decision about the recording; which chip encodes it and how hard it works is a decision about the machine — one set once, the other every session.
  • Tools is gone. Rewrapping to MP4 and the virtual camera both leave CapView, so they sit under Recording with the rest of them.

The ffmpeg block stops moving, but not by being pinned. It used to jump to the top when ffmpeg was missing so the download would be found — deliberate, and 1.6.1 broke that by fixing the symptom. On a tab that is about the encoder it is the first thing either way.

The settings window stays where it is put. It is destroyed and rebuilt whenever the mode is switched, so it came up wherever Windows felt like — the jumping that was reported. The saved rectangle is the restored one, so a window read while minimised is not remembered at the wrong size, and it is checked against the virtual screen so a position on a monitor that is gone does not put it out of reach.
