Using Window Presets
HALion comes with several preconfigured window presets. You can open these by
clicking the "Open New Window" button in the top bar and selecting a preset from
the pop-up menu. You can also create your own window presets using the
corresponding commands on the pop-up menu.
Locking Windows
When you open an additional window, HALion shows the settings belonging to the
focused object (program, layer, zone etc.). This way, all editors and separate windows
relate to the same material.
However, in some cases it might be necessary to show different objects in different
windows, for example, to compare the parameter sets of two zones or layers. This can
be achieved by locking a window.
• To lock a window, click the lock button in the upper right corner. If this is activated,
the window no longer follows selection and focus changes in the main plug-in
window. Instead, it displays the settings of the program that was selected when
you clicked the lock button.
Screen Sets
When you have set up the HALion control panel to your liking, you can save this
configuration as a "screen set". This way, you can preconfigure HALion for different
workflows and editing situations.
When you start HALion for the first time, the default screen set is used, which is
optimized for wide-screen monitors and contains all editors.
The following factory screen sets are available:

Default
Basic
Extended1
Extended2

Managing Screen Sets
You can load, save, and delete screen sets by clicking the screen set button on the
toolbar in the plug-in functions section and selecting the corresponding command
from the pop-up menu.
Factory screen sets cannot be deleted.
