You can rearrange the display of panels to better match your workflow. For example, you can group task-related panels together in one palette. At any time, you can further customize these palettes by adding or removing a panel, repositioning a panel, or moving a panel to another palette.
You can easily display a panel when you need it, and you can quickly close a panel when you’re done. If you want to save screen space, but keep the panels and palettes displayed (in the application window), you can collapse or resize them.
Palettes and panels float in the workspace. Docking attaches the panel or palette to the vertical edge of the application window. Undocking detaches them from other parts of the workspace, so you can move them. To perform docking, you need to grab a panel’s tab or a palette’s header bar.
Most panels in Corel Painter contain option menus from which you can access a series of related commands. For example, you can use the options menu in the Paper controls panel to capture, make, and invert paper textures.

A typical palette features a header bar (1), panel tabs (2), and a Panel options button (3).

By default, the Color panel is open and is grouped in a palette with the Mixer and Color Set Libraries panels.
You can save the arrangement of palettes as a custom workspace layout for later use, and you can delete this custom workspace layout when you no longer need it.

When you choose Window
Show Panels, only the panels that were open when you chose Hide Panels are displayed.

You can restore a previously hidden palette by choosing Window, and choosing the name of a panel that is contained in the palette.

If there’s not enough space along the vertical edge of the application window (for example, if you have a lot of expanded palettes), you may not be able to dock a panel or a palette. Collapse one or multiple panels to create sufficient space for docking.
You cannot dock panels or palettes with toolbars.
