Customizing Window Layouts

If none of the existing layouts meets your needs, you can create and save additional

window layouts that you’ve arranged yourself. There are two types of window layouts

you can create:

• Custom layouts: You can create up to two layouts that are available in the Arrange

menu as Custom Layout 1 and Custom Layout 2.

• Saved layouts: You can create numerous window layouts that you name and then save

to your hard disk. Once you’ve saved a new window layout, it appears at the bottom

of the Arrange submenu of the Window menu. If you’ve saved multiple custom window

layouts, the first five appear in alphabetical order at the bottom of this menu.

Creating Custom Layouts

Two custom layouts are presented at the top of the Arrange menu and cannot be renamed.

To create a custom layout

1 Choose Apple Menu > System Preferences, click Displays, then set the desired resolution

of your computer monitor.
