Most dockable dialogs can be created in more than one way, but all
of them can be created using the
->
menu from the Main Toolbox, or by using the
command in the Tab menu from any dialog. As a convenience, there
are also three pre-built docks you can create using the
->->
menu path from the Main Toolbox:
-
Layers, Channels and Paths
-
This gives you a dock containing:
-
The Channels dialog
-
The Layers dialog
-
The Paths dialog
-
The Undo dialog
-
Brushes, Patterns and Gradients
-
This gives you a dock containing:
-
The Brushes dialog
-
The Patterns dialog
-
The Gradients dialog
-
The Palettes dialog
-
The Fonts dialog
-
Misc. Stuff
-
This gives you a dock containing:

Just because you have a lot of flexibility does not mean that all
choices are equally good. There are at least two things we recommend:
-
Keep the Tool Options dialog docked directly beneath the Main
Toolbox at all times.
-
Keep the Layers dialog around at all times, in a separate dock
from the Main Toolbox, with an Image Menu above it. (Use
“Show Image Menu”
in the dialog Tab menu to display the Image menu if you have
somehow lost it.)
