Display tabbed documents (Dreamweaver Macintosh)
You can view multiple documents in a single Document window by using tabs to identify each document. You can also
display them as part of a floating workspace, in which each document appears in its own window.
Open a tabbed document in a separate window
❖ Control-click the tab and select Move To New Window from the context menu.
Combine separate documents into tabbed windows
❖ Select Window > Combine As Tabs.
Change the default tabbed document setting
1 Select Dreamweaver > Preferences, and then select the General category.
2 Select or deselect Open Documents in Tabs, and click OK.
Dreamweaver does not alter the display of documents that are currently open when you change preferences.
Documents opened after you select a new preference, however, display according to the preference you selected.
Turn on color icons
By default, Dreamweaver CS4 and later uses black and white icons that turn into colored icons when you hover over
them. You can turn color icons on permanently so that no hovering is required.
❖ Do one of the following:
• Choose View > Color Icons.
• Switch to the Classic or Coder workspace.
To turn color icons off again, deselect Color Icons in the View menu, or switch to a different workspace.
