-Screens inside Whistle Studio are hosted inside content panes.  When a screen is launched, it starts out in tabbed mode.  If a content pane is docked, its dimensions are determined by how it is docked and the dimensions of the main window. If a content pane is in floating mode, it can be resized by hovering the mouse over the edges of the content pane and dragging, similar to any window inside a Microsoft based operating system.

 ==== Tearing Off Tab Items  ====
-:By default, Whistle Studio opens up new screens as a new tab item and adds it to the tab item area. When a new screen is launched, it becomes active. It is possible to tear off a tab item and either dock the window somewhere else inside the main window or leave it floating on its own, similar to the way the navigation bar works. To tear off a tab item, left click on the tab item header and drag it with the mouse. The screen will become separated from the tab control and the user may place it where ever is most convenient.
