Not that I know of, that's pretty standard with interfaces that also work with Winboard, the same with the Windows version of Drago, and that one Brit program that I can't remeber the name of.
On the other hand, on my computer, probably yours too because it'll be a setting saved to the ini file (see c:\windows for file) When you start up Winboard, then minimize Bringer, the next time you use it that way, Bringer will start already minimized. Of course, if you use Bringer on it's own _without_ Winboard, it'll get returned to the old setting. Oh well.

Another maybe even nicer way is to do it like this : _maximize_ Bringer ; adjust the Bringer windows just as you like them ; then close it again .
Now start it under Winboard ; set the Winboard board size to "Middling" ( >Options > Board Size ) ; then it perfectly fits over Bringer's normal own chessboard .
When you start a winboard match now with Bringer you can follow very well if you put the winboard chessboard on top of Bringer's own chessboard but at the same time you have full access to every info Bringer displays in the other windows.
Have fun !
