Floating windows can be docked together to occupy the same area of the workspace. In this case the visible window is selected using a tab at the bottom of the docked window area. To add a floating window to an existing docked window as a tab:
-
Click the header of the tool window you wish to dock with an existing docked window.
-
Drag the tool window towards the existing docked window where you wish to tab the tool window.
-
The guide diamond will appear in the centre of the existing docked window - move the tool window to the centre of the guide diamond where the icon indicates a new tab.
-
The application workspace will change colour to highlight where the tab will appear and a small tab will become visible in the existing docked window - release the mouse to place the window as a tab in the selected position.
