Re-arrange interface elements

The crucial tools like History or Libraries may be hidden under tabs.

To make these windows easily accessible, you can:

Option 1. Bring them to foreground
Option 2. Open them above the work area

1

Bring the dock windows to the foreground

One way to make sure that important color picking tools are within easy reach is to arrange them underneath each other. For this:

Step 1. Open the corresponding tab.
Step 2. Pull the window by its header to the desired location. 
Step 3. When you see the black frame, release the mouse button. 

Note: the windows dock to the right, left or top sidebars!

2

Let the dock windows float above the work area

If you don’t have enough space in your sidebar, you can place Navigator or other tools above your workspace:

Step 1. Drag the dock window onto the image area
Step 2. Release the mouse button over the desired location
Step 3.
Resize the window by pulling its the corner

To restore the position of the floating window, click the minimize icon.

Besides rearranging windows, you can change visually position of the toolbars.

Step 1. Pull the toolbar by its header to the new location.

To restore position of all of the toolbars and windows: 

Step 1. Call the context menu over an empty toolbar area. 
Step 2. Select “Reset all toolbars and floating windows” 

Open Libraries on the floating windows

Another way to save time during colorization is to open all or several libraries in advance:

Step 1. Choose the Library from the drop-down list. 
Step 2. Click on the open sign on its right.
Step 3. Drag library to the comfortable location.  

Floating windows with libraries don't dock with sidebars, so you can place them above them!
