Changing the palette display


    You can control the size of a palette as well as how many options appear in it.

To change the palette display:

    • To change the size of a palette, drag the lower right corner of the palette.

    Note: Some palettes, such as the Color palette, cannot be resized by dragging.

    • To collapse a group to the palette titles only, click the minimize/maximize box (Windows) or click the zoom box (Mac OS). You can still open the palette menu from a collapsed palette.
    • To cycle through the available views of a palette--the default view, view with hidden options showing, view as resized by dragging, and palette titles only--double-click the palette's tab. Alternately, in some palettes you can click the double triangle double triangle icon at the upper left of the palette tab to cycle through the palette displays, or choose Show Options or Hide Options from the palette menu.

    Tip iconFor maximum performance, hide all palettes except those that are necessary for your work.
