Re: [Gmod-ajax] JBrowse2 move track labels above tracks

[Colin <col...@gm...>]

v2.7.2 released now with the ability to configure the default track labels
setting. note that users are still allowed to change it for their
preference, so this config setting combines with a users current
localstorage preference, so if the config doesn't look like it is working
then try clearing localstorage and starting a new session

a config snippet in our volvox config shows how to use:

https://github.com/GMOD/jbrowse-components/blob/ab1d5d525d25841f1f057d762527646986836b77/test_data/volvox/config.json#L189-L192

basically, in your config.json:

{
  "configuration": {
    "LinearGenomeViewPlugin": {
      "trackLabels": "offset"
    }
}
