(Figure 10-8 on page 109) on an individual
window.
GOING FULL SCREEN
The Consolidated window supports the full-screen
feature in Windows and macOS 10.7 or later. When
the Consolidated window is full screen, plug-in
windows float above it.
CONSOLIDATED WINDOW TITLE BAR
The title bar of the Consolidated Window has the
same standard buttons as other Digital Performer
windows, with one addition: the name of the
project file. Command/Ctrl-click the project name
to reveal a menu showing the path of the file on
disk. If you click on any of the folders shown in this
menu, a window will open to that folder.
OTHER WINDOW TITLE BARS
When a window is displayed in the Consolidated
Window, its title bar appears at the top of the
section as a Tab bar, complete with a mini-menu
and other Tab bar controls that are specific to that
window, as demonstrated below in Figure 10-3:
Figure 10-3: When the Sequence Editor and other windows are
displayed in the Consolidated window, their title bar appears as the
Tab bar at the top of the cell.
THE CONTROL PANEL
The Control Panel appears across the top of the
Consolidated Window. Like other cells, it can be
popped in or out. It is also highly configurable,
allowing you to show and hide sections. A Compact
Height option conserves even more screen space.
To access these settings, visit the Control Panel
preferences (Figure 7-8 on page 73), or right-click
anywhere on its background (Figure 10-4 below).
When displaying shortcuts and the tool bar, you
can further show/hide the desired tools and
shortcuts.

Performer’s editors and other primary windows,
such as the Mixing Board. These windows are
listed in the tabs across the top, and you can access
any of them by clicking their corresponding tab.
For information about splitting the body into
several sections, see “Using Horizontal Dividers”
on page 108.
THE SIDEBARS
Sidebars display list windows, monitors and
legends. To open the left-hand or right-hand
sidebar, double-click the divider as shown in
Figure 10-3, or simply drag it towards the center of
the Consolidated Window. You can also use the
keyboard shortcuts (Shift-[ or Shift-]). Likewise, to
