Figure 2.6 The Structure window on the left is now an example of an undocked window. Notice how
it overlays (and obfuscates) the editor window underneath.
positioned wherever you'd like, as shown in figure 2.7. A floating window that is
pinned remains visible when focus is returned to the editor. If pinning mode isn't
selected, the window is hidden beneath the main frame. To un-float a tool win-
dow, click the Fix icon in its title bar, or toggle off the floating status with the Win-
dow | Floating Mode command; the window will return to the main interface.
Floating windows let you create a multiwindow interface (an MDI , in Windows
parlance), if that's the type of thing you're into. Otherwise, you have the option of
using floating windows only on those occasions when you need the contents of a
window to remain on-screen while you continue to work in the main interface.
Moving tool windows to another bar
By default, none of the windows are rooted in the top tool window bar above the
editor, so that toolbar doesn't normally appear. You can move any tool window to
another tool window bar by right-clicking its icon or title bar and selecting one of
the options in the Move to context menu option. The tool window's icon moves to
the selected location.
