As I remember this it's done in the browser window that opens up during installing. Or am I wrong?

Default XO settings

Am I missing something here...?

These are my settings for the XO




Still the XO is always visible at the scopes and UZO (shouldn't he pop up when locking?) and he's not draggable.

Another funny thing is that I've set "ShowLockBreakLock = False" and still it's visible
