English term or phrase: floating / docking
In einem Programm kann man per Rechtsklick auf eine Toolbar ein Menü mit den Optionen "floating" bzw. "docking" aufrufen.

Ich habe als Entsprechungen bisher "unverankert" und "angedockt" gefunden, aber mit nicht sehr vielen Google-Treffern.

Zudem empfinde ich die beiden Termini nicht als 100%ige Gegenteile, ich hätte lieber sowas wie "verankert" - "unverankert"...

Danke vorab!

Explanation:
Ob sinnvoll oder nicht, Microsoft nennt "floating / docking", beweglich und verankert, zumindest was Menüleisten/Werkzeugleisten angeht.

Explanation:
Eine "floating toolbar" ist eine "schwebende Symbolleiste". Für "docking" entweder "verankern" oder andocken". Also als Titel im Menü: "schwebend" und "angedockt/verankert" (Andocken/Verankern).
