Nuke gives you several options for customizing the window layout. It’s time for you to claim your copy of Nuke and make it your own! You don’t need to customize the layout for this lesson, but why not try it now for your own personal amusement? Here are some things you can do to reorganize the window layout:
• Drag a divider line between panes to change the size of the panes.

| Closing a tab. |
• To move a tabbed page, drag the tab to another pane inside the main window.

• Drag a floating window into a pane, inside the main window, to convert it to a tabbed page.
