Arranging Windows
Pro Tools provides commands to tile or cascade all
open windows. Floating windows (such as plug-in
windows) and the Transport window are not af-
fected by these commands.
To arrange windows:
 Choose Window > Arrange and select one of the
following:
Tile Arranges all open windows in a tiled pattern
on the screen.
Tile Horizontal Arranges all open windows in a
horizontally tiled pattern on the screen. This option
is not available if there are too many windows
open.
Tile Vertical Arranges all open windows in a verti-
cally tiled pattern, side by side, on the screen. This
option is not available if there are too many win-
dows open.
Cascade Arranges all open windows in cascading
pattern on the screen.
Hiding All Floating Windows
The Hide All Floating Windows command hides or
shows all floating windows. This is useful for
quickly clearing the screen of all floating windows
so that you can work in the Edit or Mix windows.
To hide or show all floating windows:
 Select or deselect Window > Hide All Floating
Windows
.
Closing Windows
To close an open window:
1 Make sure the window you want to close is in
the foreground.
2 Do one of the following:
