New floating options feature

Hi,

So since the Beta versions of Adobe came out, there is this floating settings menu, that I feel is not user friendly at all. I can see the benefit of it, tbh I only use that for AI generation as I'm just so used to my UI layout and this little window does not offer enough settings for me to start using it.

Still I think it could be useful and as I mentioned I use it for AI, BUT the automated positioning of it is driving me crazy it is way too close to my working area and I keep accidentally clicking into it then I have to drag it out of the way then I have to drag it again as it never remembers of the position where I moved it.

Can this be worked on? Same for illustrator. I'd use this feature if it wasn't literally between my cursor and graphics that I want to see and work on. It's just way too close

Thanks for considering it! 🙂

      Illustrator does have the Contextual Tool bar in the 27.9 update. Details in this post from September 13:

      FYI, if you turn off the Contextual Task bar, you can reopen it from the Window menu.

        That's great thank you, well at least need to do it only once a day hopefully. Illustrator's one doesn't have this option.

          You can move the Contextual Task Bar to where ever you want it, then click the three little dots and click Pin bar position.

          It should stay there till you Quit photoshop.
