# UI Elements

Screen layout

The screen is divided into 4 main panels:

The View Window, which allows you to preview your creations in real time

The Page List, which lets you manage operator pages

The Operator Page Window, in which you can stack operators

The Properties Window, in which you can edit the properties of operators.

To give a window focus, click inside it.

Each of these windows has a context menu that is accessible through the triangle icon in its title bar or via a middle mouse button double-click inside the window. You can change the screen layout by dragging the dividers between the views by the divider anchors (left/right) or by clicking and dragging from anywhere else on the page list or operator page title bars (up/down).
