To the right of these bars are: an empty box, a button for left-clicking to open the [[context menu]], and a button for toggling the visibility of hotkey text which is bound to a button.  Finally, the last button allows for hiding the quick buttons, making the window slightly smaller.
-* To move the window, simply click and drag any portion of the bar which is not a button. To hide or lock the window, move the mouse pointer to the very extreme edge of the bar - the far right appears to be the easiest location - and right-click and select (Un)Lock or (Un)Hide.

 * Common interactions without items activated include open, repair, take, embark, and so forth.
