Customizing 32 – 745
Window layouts are managed in the Window Layouts dialog on the View
menu. The procedures are the same as when handling regular presets (for
detailed descriptions, see “Presets” on page 65):
• To create a new window layout, set up the display as you want it (see the
list above) and use the Window Layout dialog to name and add the new
layout.
• To modify an existing window layout, set up the display as you want it, se-
lect the window layout in the dialog and click the Update button.
• To load an existing window layout, select it in the dialog and click Load.
Using key sequences
You can use key sequences for recalling window layouts, just as with many
other items (see “Customizable key/MIDI commands” on page 746). This
can be used for quick and easy window control. For example, open a sin-
gle document window, maximize it, save a window layout and assign it to a
key sequence. Later, this key sequence can be used to maximize the active
window only.
Setting default size and position for windows
As mentioned above, while window layouts can be used for storing the
size and position of windows, it also stores settings for various
dialog
boxes. If you only wish to determine a default size and position for different
types of windows (Waves, Audio Montages, Basic Audio
CDs, etc.), you
can instead use the option “Remember active window’s
layout as opening
setting” on the View menu. This is a quick and
effective way of organiz-
ing your working environment the way you want it.
To set a default size and position for a certain type of window, proceed as
follows:
1. Open or create the desired type of window.
2. Size and position it the way you like.
3. Pull down the View menu and select “Remember active window’s layout
as opening setting”.
A dialog appears asking you to confirm the option.
4. Click “Yes” to continue.
All windows of that type will now open in this same size and position.
• Loading a window layout as described above will override this setting.
