Changing the palette display

You can rearrange your palettes to make better use of your work area by using the following techniques:

• To make a palette appear at the front of its group, click the palette's tab.
• To move an entire palette group, drag its title bar.
• To rearrange or separate a palette group, drag a palette's tab. Dragging a palette outside of an existing group creates a new palette window.
• To move a palette to another group, drag the palette's tab to that group.
• To dock palettes so that you can move them together, drag a palette's tab to the bottom of another palette.
• To move an entire docked palette group, drag its title bar.
• To display a palette menu, position the pointer on the triangle  in the upper right corner of the palette and hold down the mouse button.
• To change the size of a resizable palette, drag the lower right corner of the palette (Windows) or drag the size box at the lower right corner of the palette (Mac OS).

Note: A few palettes, such as the Color palette, cannot be resized by dragging.

• To collapse a group to the palette titles only, click the minimize/maximize box (Windows) or click the zoom box (Mac OS). You can still open the palette menu from a collapsed palette.
• To cycle through the available sizes for a palette--the default size, size with hidden options showing, size as resized by dragging, and palette titles only--double-click the palette's tab.

For maximum performance, hide all palettes except those that are necessary for your work.
