Customizing Metro's Window Layout Take this opportunity to resize Metro’s windows to better suit your individual monitor display size. As the default window Metro configuration demonstrates, it’s good to leave the Tracks, Graphic Editor, Transport and Sections windows exposed. Let’s try an exercise in window management: Open the Instruments Mixer window (Command-I) and the Tracks window (Command-B). Drag the Tracks window so that it covers part of the Instruments Mixer window but does not cover the faders. Metro allows you to manipulate the faders and buttons in the Instruments Mixer window without making the window active. Drag one of the faders up and down without activating the Instruments Mixer window. Be sure to drag from the thumb of a fader, otherwise you may activate the Instruments Mixer window. Open the Graphic Editor window (Command-J), and click the Zoom box to expand the window to full size. Click the Graphic Editor’s Zoom box again to return the window to its original position. This is a handy technique for optimizing screen real estate. Try the same procedure with the Tracks window and other Metro windows. Use the Command keys to make the Tracks (Command-K), Sections (Command-Y) or Graphic Editor (Command-J) window active. Look in the Windows menu for a list of window shortcut keys. Of course everyone works in a unique way. This particular layout exemplifies only one approach designed to get you quickly configured and feeling comfortable in a workable environment. Feel free to explore your own configurations to better suit your specific needs. The next step in your first session is Saving Preferences.
