Three popular options are: 1) Keep the Toolbox and Docks next to, and NOT overlapping, the image window. Good for big, wide monitors. The behaviour is then very much like a single-window application. 2) Keep the Toolbox and Docks over the image window. Use Tab key to hide or to show the Toolbox and Docks. 3) Set the mouse to activate and raise windows, and set the Toolbox and Docks to go either above or below the image window. Then a quick movement of the mouse brings up whichever window is desired. It is a credit to the GIMP designers that it is so easy to customize the interface-- thank you! Users just need to be told about it early in their GIMP experience. I submit that the best solution may be to add a splash screen when GIMP is first used, explaining those options and how to set them. Or perhaps such an explanation should be put in the Help menu or in the "Tips of the Day". Much better tu customize early-on than to argue over how it "should" be! -- Sterling _______________________________________________ Gimp-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
