I can't seen to open my 2 buttons windows separately with V7. I have 2 monitors and use 1 button window full size on each. This is extremely important for me as I use them for lighting layers on the fly. Switching between buttons is extremely distracting and mutes live creativity. Can anyone tell me how to open these button windows separatey?

Thanks...how do I do that in v2.23.4? For some reason I have my 2 windows on one of my laptops, but the other has it in a tab similar to V7.

How do I get the buttons to be different shapes and sizes like the ones in the above picture? All of mine become long and narrow like the ones in the bottom right of the pic. I have tried to use child windows but they appear separate, not in the board. So how do I set up and use child windows? I would like to have 4 boards with box shaped buttons instead of all long narrow buttons.

Right click over the button to open the popup menu, and select "Move button".

The picture above from 'Ligher007' explains this very well.
