Customizing the Desktop Layout
To customize the COMSOL Desktop environment, you can rearrange the windows by moving, resizing, detaching, or docking each window (see Adjusting Window Location and Size on the Desktop). Predefined layouts are also available and selected from the Desktop Layout menu where you can adjust to a widescreen or regular layout or reset it to the default.
You can also adjust the fonts and the language. See Changing Fonts and the Desktop Language.
Changing and Resetting the Desktop Layout
The COMSOL Desktop layout can be set to widescreen or regular screen, or you can reset it to its default settings. Resetting can be useful after you have been moving or resizing the windows and you want to quickly return to the default. The default settings are restored either for a widescreen layout or a regular screen layout depending on the monitor. Also see The COMSOL Desktop Menus and Toolbars.
From the Reset Desktop menu () in the Layout section of the Home toolbar, or from the Desktop Layout submenu on the Windows menu in the cross-platform version, select one of the following:
•
Widescreen Layout: suitable for widescreen monitors. The Model Builder window and the Settings window display side by side.
•
Regular Screen Layout: suitable for monitors with a regular screen (4:3). The Model Builder window displays on top of the Settings window.
To reset the desktop, click Reset Desktop () in the Layout section of the Home toolbar.
To reset the desktop, select Reset Desktop or click the Reset desktop () button on the main toolbar.
