Hiding the Learning Center

Hidden Learning Center
Of the 3 default palettes, perhaps the Learning Center would be the first you'd want to customize because it occupies such a large chunk of image area. There are 3 choices:
  1. You can close it completely, or
  2. Float and move out of the way, or
  3. Select AutoHide so it doesn't take up so much space.

If docking is enabled (by checking 'allow docking' in Preferences) and AutoHide is active (points left), the Learning Center will roll up and move to the bottom of the workspace. If you 'float' and drag Learning Center to the far left, the title bar (label*) tucks in next to the Tool bar. (see above image)

If 'allow docking' is UNchecked, the Learning Center will not snap into place along edge of workspace. Grab the title bar with mouse and drag it to wherever you want in the workspace.

When you click away with the Auto Hide button activated, it rolls up in one of two ways: If it's floating, only title bar is visible; if it's docked, a label appears with the palette or toolbar name.

There are three ways to completely hide the Learning Center:

  1. Click the X on the palette title bar to close, or
  2. Press F10 on the keyboard to toggle visibility on and off, or
  3. Select View > Palettes from the main menu. UNcheck to hide visibility.
Tip: Would you like your toolbar icons to be larger? Right click the toolbar and select 'Customize'. Under the 'Options' tab you will find a checkbox for 'Large Icons'.
