After you become familiar with the Dreamweaver panels and tools, you can customize the
interface by rearranging panels and reordering panel groups to make the program work
with your specific needs. You can save any custom workspace that you create by choosing
Window > Workspace Layout > Save Current. The Workspace Layout submenu also offers
a workspace for developers who work with two monitors—Dual Screen—as well as the
ability to rename or delete saved workspaces through the Manage option.
You can undock any panel group and separate it from the docking area. To
undock a panel group, rest the pointer over the panel gripper designated by the
dots on the left of the panel group title bar. When the pointer turns to a hand
(Macintosh) or a cross-hair with arrows (Windows), click and drag the panel group
out of the window and release it. As you drag it outside of the docked panels, you
will see a ghost image of the panel group until you release it. You can rename this
new window or panel group by clicking the Options menu button and choosing
Rename Panel Group from the Options menu. As you drag a panel group back
into the docking area with other groups, you see the ghost image of the panel
before you release it as well as a thick dark line at the point where the panel group
appears. You can also rearrange the order of panel groups by using the grab area
to move any of the groups above or below the other groups. If you want to change
the organization of panel tabs by moving them into different groups, select a panel
by clicking its tab and choose Group (panel name) with from the Options menu.
The lessons in this book assume that you are using the default configuration of panels in
Dreamweaver 8, with no changes to the order or names of panels and panel groups. If you
have rearranged any of the tools, you can revert to the default configuration by choosing
Window > Workspace Layout > Default (Macintosh) or Window > Workspace and
selecting Designer (Windows).
3. Choose File > New and select HTML from the Basic page category of the
General tab.
A new XHTML document opens with a new tab in the current Document window.
