Docking and Undocking in Zetta^®

Modules, Tools and many of the windows can be docked in Zetta. The modules opened can be Docked, Undocked or Free Floating. Modules and Tools can be docked together in different windows or in the Zetta main application window, to arrange them in a convenient way, so that each user can completely customize their Zetta experience to their video display preferences. One of the uniquely powerful tools in Zetta is the ability to take full advantage of a computer's capabilities allowing the user to utilize the higher resolutions and easily view 6 to 8 modules docked on the screen. To save space on the desktop, the Modules and Tools can also be docked as a tab of another module, this is useful especially when the user wants a module/tool to be easily accessible, but not necessarily consuming real estate on the desktop.

The following docking guides will appear when clicking and dragging the title bar or tab of a module or window to assist in the docking and undocking:

 Dock on Top – The Dock on Top option appears at the top of the docking area. Dropping the module/tool on this option will dock the window along the top edge of the docking area.

 Dock on Left – The Dock on Left icon is located to the left side of the docking area. Dropping the module/tool on the Dock on Left icon will dock the window along the left edge of the docking area

 Dock on Bottom – The Dock on Bottom icon appears at the bottom of the docking area. Dropping the module/tool on this icon will dock the window along the entire bottom edge of the docking area.

 Dock on Right – The Dock on Right icon appears at the right of the docking area. Dropping the module/tool on this icon will dock the tab along the right edge of the docking area.

Tip: To temporarily disable the docking behavior, just hold the CTRL key while dragging modules around in a layout, and Zetta will not show the docking highlight regions until the key CTRL key is released. Once you're happy with the layout it can be saved using the Layout menu. Optionally, the Layout can also be Locked to prevent accidental changes.
