## 3.9 Dockable Dialogs

Helper dialogs like the Tool Settings or the Color List are "dockable" in PhotoLine. "Dockable" means, that the dialog can be attached to another dockable dialog. This way the user interface is more cleaned up.

Furthermore on Windows dockable dialogs can be attached to the edges of the main window. By doing so they will automatically adjust to size changes of the main window.

On Mac OS dockable dialogs can be docked to the edges of the screen.

If you have docked dialogs to an edge, document windows will not be placed behind those dialogs.

If a dialog should be placed at an edge without docking, you can do so by holding the Ctrl-key (Windows) or the Command-key (Mac OS) while dragging.

Different configurations of the dockable dialogs can be saved as dialog settings (see chapter 7.3.1 and chapter 7.3.2).
