Customizing IDE Layout
Docking Windows
You can increase the viewing and editing space for code, depending on how you arrange the windows in the IDE.
Step 1: Click the window you want to dock, to give it focus.
Step 2: Drag the tool window from its current location. A guide diamond appears. The four arrows of the diamond point towards the four edges of the IDE.
Step 3: Move the pointer over the corresponding portion of the guide diamond. An outline of the window appears in the designated area.
Step 4: To dock the window in the position indicated, release the mouse button.
Tip : To move a dockable window without snapping it into place, press CTRL while dragging it.
Saving Layout
Once you have a window layout that you like, you can save the layout by typing the name for the layout and pressing the Save Layout Icon 
.
To set the layout select the desired layout from the layout drop-down list and click the Set Layout Icon 
.
To remove the layout from the drop-down list, select the desired layout from the list and click the Delete Layout Icon 
.
Auto Hide
Auto Hide enables you to see more of your code at one time by minimizing tool windows along the edges of the IDE when not in use.
- Click the window you want to keep visible to give it focus.
- Click the Pushpin Icon
on the title bar of the window.
When an auto-hidden window loses focus, it automatically slides back to its tab on the edge of the IDE. While a window is auto-hidden, its name and icon are visible on a tab at the edge of the IDE. To display an auto-hidden window, move your pointer over the tab. The window slides back into view and is ready for use.
