All data windows, except the color scale window, are sharing the View Settings Pane, which allow you to modify the appearance of the windows.
The content of the pane will always reflect the active data window and when altering the changes will be reflected in the data window simultaneously. By default, the view pane will be shown "docked" to the right SPIP frame, but it can also be shown "floating" or docked to the left SPIP frame.
The View Settings Pane can be activated from the Dialog Box Launcher key in the View panel of the General tab.
To move a docked pane into a "floating" window put the cursor in the caption area and drag it to the desired position. This window is fully sizable
To dock a floating pane, move its window to the left or right frame of SPIP, such that the mouse cursor is on the SPIP frame. The width of docked panes is sizable.
All window panes can be auto hidden by left-clicking on the push-pin button in the upper right hand corner of the pane:
When auto hided, the pane will appear again just by moving the mouse into the edge where the pane is hidden.
To turn off the auto hiding mode click on the horizontal push-pin button
