Rearranging windows

The following is essential for usability of ChessBase software: The individual elements of the windows (the "panes") can be moved and resized. A pane will "dock" when you move it to a place which makes sense. This ensures that you will never "lose" a window or have it partially covered by another one.

Move the cursor onto a horizontal or vertical separation bar. It will turn into a "resize cursor".

"Docking" windows
If you move the mouse cursor onto the two parallel lines below the separation bar, it will turn into a hand.

"Docking" windows

Press and hold down the left mouse button. You can now drag the window to some other place on the screen. Watch the window outline – when it snaps into place you have a proper docking place.

Once you have arranged everything the way you want you can save the layout in the menu Window – Layout – Save.
