Tobe Builder Pro: Window Docking System
Tobe Builder Pro is a powerful tool that allows users to create and customize their own workflows. One of the key features of Tobe Builder Pro is its user-configurable window docking system, providing a more personalized and efficient experience.
How It Works
When you first open Tobe Builder Pro, you will notice a left menu that allows you to toggle different windows on and off. These windows initially open as free dialog boxes in the center of the screen. However, with the window docking system, you can easily move these windows to any position within the application window.
Docking a Window
To dock a window:
Click and drag the window to the desired location.
You can dock a window to the top, bottom, left, or right of the screen.
Once docked, Tobe Builder Pro will remember its location within that saved layout.
Customizing Your Layout
Tobe Builder Pro allows users to save their preferred layouts, facilitating different workflows.
Saving a Layout
Arrange the windows to your desired positions.
Click the Save Layout button.
Give your layout a name for easy identification.
Loading a Layout
Click the Load Layout button.
Select the layout you want to use.
Left Menu
Tobe Builder Pro top-level windows can be toggled via the main menu on the left side of the screen. Each menu is used to access specific features in Tobe Builder.
