You can select from the Window Position drop list to have the windows to be displayed in Floating or Docking mode similar to the function in CabMaster.
Windows can be undocked so that they float within or outside the application window, which can be very useful for those working on multiple screens.
When there is more than one window docked to the same side, those windows can be laid out in one of two ways, stacked or tabbed.
