But I am trying to install the program for my wife on her MAC and so of course I can't just copy over Windows preferences (or maybe I can not sure).
Not the whole gimp user profile but the window settings are held in the file sessionrc which is a text file. It should work in a Mac. Look in your Gimp User profile C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10
Similar sort of question yesterday https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-dialogs-won-t-dock I made a sessionrc file in linux for that Windows installation. There is also a video there on moving tabs / creating docks (although the opposite of what you want)
Your setup is exactly the same as mine. I use Gimp 2.10.20 but basically I like the Gimp 2.8 layoutI can post the sessionrc file for that, although better if you can figure out how to move the docks around yourself. Once you understand where the 'hot-spots' are it is easy.
Thank you very much for the help--so ultimately I can accomplish what I want simply by dragging the tabs from the tops to the bottom. But I still don't know how two "dialogs" (not sure that's the right word) got "locked" together as in my original attachment or how to "unlock" them. Notice for example my tool box options is not "locked" to the bottom of the toolbox. So how do you do that?
Oh never mind I figured it out--so apparently those are very "subtle" movements you have to make to create two boxed or dialogs or whatever you call them anchored on top of each other. You can also create additional ones. That's good--all these years I've been using Gimp I just never took the time to figure out how to do that!
