To bring a grouped palette to the front of the group, click on the palette's tab. You can also ungroup and rearrange the palettes by clicking on a tab and dragging it outside of the group or to another group. Try it now by dragging the navigator palette out of its default group. Then put it back by dragging it back onto the palette group.
Palettes can be resized either by holding your cursor over an edge and dragging when the cursor changes to a double pointing arrow, or by clicking and dragging on the lower right corner. The Color palette is not resizable.
When you click the close button on a palette group it closes all the palettes in the group. To display a palette that is not shown, you can either choose the command from the Window Menu, or display the palette using its keyboard shortcut. Refer to the Window menu for the keyboard shortcuts for your operating system.
We went over these on the previous page, but a couple of palette shortcuts worth reviewing are:
- Tab = Show/Hide Toolbox, options bar, and all palettes
- Shift-Tab = Show/Hide all floating palettes
