  • Displaying palettes

palette_ex.GIF (14677 octets)To display palettes do the followimg : View > Palette > "Name of Palette to display".

When a palette is already visible or docked in the palettes dock, doing this command once again closes the selected palette

Anyway, if you need more space because you don't want to spend your time scrolling up or down the palettes dock, you should collapse the unwanted palettes while still keeping them "one click away" in the palettes dock.:

 

  • Using palettes

  • To move a palette :catch the caption bar of it (left-button) and drag it around your workspace to the place you want (just like a traditionnal window).
  • Open or collapse it by clicking on the icon on the top left of the caption bar

By default all the palettes are open and docked in the Palettes dock. You can easily position a palette on the main window :

  • Right click on the caption bar of the desired palettes and choose Undock.

If you want to undock all open palettes you'd rather use :

  • View > Palettes > Undock All

This is useful if you want to save space by closing the palettes dock or work in full screen mode.

To dock a Palette laying on the workspace

  • right-click on its caption bar and choose dock. Even quicker is to right-click and drag to the Palettes dock.
  • Dock all the palettes by choosing : View > Palettes > Dock All

  • List of palettes
