<para>GnuCash can display multiple views of your finances at once, in
|
|
multiple windows, a tabbed "notebook" style, or in one plain window.
|
|
This facility is provided through the GNOME MDI (multiple document
|
|
interface). When you open a new
|
|
<link linkend="xacc-mainwin">account tree</link>
|
|
or <link linkend="xacc-reports">report</link> using the file menu, the
|
|
new view can be displayed in several ways.

<para>Notebook view puts all new views in the main window, but places
|
|
them on named tabs - just like a real notebook, in fact. You can bring
|
|
a notebook tab to the front by clicking on it.</para>

<para>If this mode is selected, a new top-level window will be created
|
|
for the new view. You can move and resize this window any way you
|
|
want, independently of the original gnucash main window. If you have
|
|
a window manager that supports multiple desktops, you can happily
|
|
move it onto a to a different one.

<para>The single-window view works like the notebook view, except
|
|
that instead of using tabs to select which report/account
|
|
tree you wish to view, you can select them from the Window menu.

<title>Selecting MDI Modes</title>
|
|
<para>MDI mode can be set in two different ways. Firstly
|
|
you can set it within GnuCash through the "Application MDI Mode"
|
|
option in the <link linkend="xacc-preferences">
|
|
Preferences Dialog</link></para>
|
|
<para>However, if you prefer a particular MDI mode across all your
|
|
GNOME applications, you can set the preference for all of them in
|
|
the MDI section of the GNOME Configuration program (see the GNOME
|
|
on-line help for more details). To get GnuCash to recognize the
|
|
global setting, set the "Application MDI Mode" option in the preferences
|
|
dialog to "Use GNOME Default".</para>
