Window Management


With Ancestris you can organize your desktop to suit your work habits. You can choose the windows you wish to make visible, wherever and in whatever shape you prefer. All these changes are reversible, so do not hesitate to try.


All windows can show up as


Opening and closing windows

Any window can be closed by left clicking on the cross on the right of the title.
To reopen it, a left click on the selected line in the Display menu will restore it to its previous position.


Moving windows

Maintain left click on the title while dragging, then release the mouse button to set the window. While dragging the window, you get a preview of its location and its shape (frame or tab) in red outline.


Window size

Clicking and dragging separation lines can change the window size. Each window can be displayed at its full frame.


All these options can be mixed: tab windows, retracted ones, a floating one... As you like!


If you wish to keep the same window location the next time you reopen Ancestris, save your choice.
Choose "Tools / Save display settings" in the main menu bar.

You can find explanations on window management in a video tutorial available on the Ancestris wiki site.
