        Why didn't I think of that earlier? It's not precisely what I
        would like but it definitely works! It requires more
        manipulation than simply clicking on an icon but that's no
        different than a lot of stuff I do ...

        It reproduces the entire VLC window with all the trimmings, all
        I actually need is the video image, and oddly I can't reduce the
        window width smaller than a certain size, while vertically it
        can be closed down to nothing? It can be set as "always on top."
        Clicking on "full-screen" immediately switches to a 23" wide
        display of the video image only with a small tool bar at the
        bottom, a usable feature certainly.

        I had hoped to make it use a little less screen area than it
        does but this is certainly one solution to my problem.

        Thanks.

        Bob
