WindowA named screen inside a workspace, for example Main. A workspace can hold several.The window selector next to the Workspaces menu.
WidgetA Chart, DOM, Positions, Orders or other panel placed on a window.The + button (Add Widget menu).

Each window has its own layout mode, Docked or Floating.

The icon next to each name shows whether that workspace is Docked or Floating. If automatic saving is off, Tradrr asks Save workspace changes? before it switches. Choose Save to keep the current layout, or Don't save to leave it behind.

Row actions

Each workspace in the list has these buttons. Hover a button to see its name.

Saving

Tradrr saves your layout in three ways.

  • Automatically. Under Settings, General, the option Auto save settings every 5 minutes is on by default.
  • From the top bar. Click the Save icon, or choose Save Active Workspace in the Workspaces menu.
  • With a hotkey. Ctrl+S is the default for Save All Settings. See Hotkeys.

Windows outside the visible area

If a window ends up off screen, for example after you move to a smaller monitor, Tradrr shows a notice with the number of windows that are off screen. Choose Fit into view to bring them back, or Keep layout to leave things as they are and scroll. Tick Don't warn again for this workspace to stop the notice for that workspace. To turn it off for everything, clear Warn when windows are outside the visible area in General settings.

Tip. Right-click an empty part of the top bar to choose Position at top or Position at bottom, or to switch between Auto-hide and Always show.
