Working with tool windows
Most of the functionality in Ultra Fractal is accessed through the various tool windows. All tool windows are resizeable. They can be put in the dock bar to save screen space, or they can float on the screen for easy access.
With docked tool windows:
- Use the title bar to drag a tool window out of the dock bar to change it into a floating tool window.
- Drag the resize bar up and down to change the height of a tool window.
- Click the hide tool window button to temporarily hide a tool window, to make more space for the other windows. The tool window collapses to show only the title bar.
- Click the restore tool window button to restore a hidden tool window.
- Click the help button and then click a control inside the tool window to get context-sensitive help.
- Click the show/hide dock bar button to hide the entire dock bar temporarily. Drag the vertical bar to the left and right to change the width of the dock bar.
With floating tool windows:
- Use the title bar to drag the tool window around. Drop it on the dock bar to change it into a docked tool window.
- Click the help button and then click a control inside the tool window to get context-sensitive help.
- Click the close button to hide the tool window. To show it again, click Tool Windows on the Window menu, and then click the name of the tool window.
- Right-click on the title bar and click Decrease Opacity to make the tool window transparent, so you can see the windows beneath it.
In general:
- Click Tool Windows on the Window menu for a menu listing all tool windows. Click the name of a tool window to show and hide it. Right-clicking the dock bar will also show this menu.
- Click Tool Windows on the Options menu or press F12 to hide and restore all tool windows.
