Windowing
The following changes have been made to RiverWare windowing.
New Multi-Window
The new Multi-Window allows you to create a customized view by docking and arranging selected windows within in a single window. Once windows are added to the Multi-Window, they can then be moved together and maintain their spatial relationship to one another. The Multi-Window configuration can be saved as part of a Window Layout that can be applied later. Tabbed groups can be created as shown below where two RPL sets are tabbed in the top-center panel.

Also, all windows that can be added to the Multi-Window now have an icon button in the upper right. For example, the Object Viewer is shown in the following figure with the Add to Multi Window button highlighted.

Note: This is the preliminary release of the Multi-Window. You may find quirky or unexpected behavior. Please provide comments to riverware-support@colorado.edu

Close Windows Before Applying a Layout
An option was added to the layout editor to close all windows before applying the layout. This is analagous to selecting the Close Windows (lightning bolt) utility before applying the layout.
