<H1>Detaching views</H1>
<p><img src="../images/win_only.png" alt="Windows only" border="0" > Detached views are
views that are shown in a separate window with a smaller trim.
They work like other views except they they are always shown in front of the Workbench window.
</p>
<p>To detach a view:</p>
<ol>
<li>If the Workbench window is maximized, resize it so that it does not fill the entire screen.</li>
<li>Click the title bar of the view that you want to detach. Hold the mouse button down.</li>
<li>Drag the view to the outside of the Workbench window and release the mouse button.</li>
</ol>
<p>To restore the view to be shown inside of the Workbench window, drag it into the
Workbench window.
</p>
<p>You can also detach a view by selecting <b>Detached</b> from the context menu
that opens when you click the icon at the left side of the view's title bar.
