Layouts

Windows, toolbars, and menus can be moved and docked. Windows can also be combined with other windows.

The layout and display can be saved as a layout. The Layout commands apply to the location of interface components and not to the display of data. See Layouts List.

Window positioning is controlled through icons that are visible only while a window is being moved. These positioning icons indicate where a window can be placed.

As you move the window over a positioning icon, a blue outline area highlights where the window will be docked.

If you drag the menu bar close to the outside borders of the main window, it will be docked. If you drag it to the centre of the window, or if you press <Ctrl> while dragging, it will float. A preview of the position is visible as you drag.
