Quote:I want something like this, but with floating windows: https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-conce...indow-mode
I decided against resetting everything to default because, as I remember, everything came up in black and white, which I simply cannot see. Please don't suggest dragging and dropping, something which doesn't work on my system (it never has - the boxes will move but not dock), but if anyone can help me with any other suggestions it would be very much appreciated.
You can reset the window layer to default without affecting the theme and tool settings
Edit -> Preferences -> Window Management -> Reset Saved Windows Positions to Default Values
That does take you back to single window mode, but now the tool options tab is under the toolbox.
In each dock there is a little left pointing arrow which opens a menu where tabs are opened and closed. Under the tool box, close the tabs except for tool options. Note: Always leave at least one tab open. Closing the all the tabs also closes the dock.
The same on Right side docks, Add the ones you want and close the ones not required. Then go into multi window mode.
