Resizing and collapsing panes and browsers

Resizing individual panes

Most panes are surrounded by a border or divider that can be dragged to resize the pane in question. Some borders appear when the cursor moves over them, but are hidden otherwise.

Many borders or dividers have Drag Handles (the double dotted lines) and Open/Close Arrows:

Some panes have buttons to open and close them, for example the Navigation Panes can be opened and closed using the upwards/downwards pointing arrows to the right of the Folder Column headers:

or the button that appears at the top of the Main Toolbar when the Sidebar is collapsed.

Collapsing a Browser to create a single-browser layout

Each Browser has a minimum width (Standard Layout) or height (Columns Layout). When that minimum is reached a "collapse" message appears, and if the Left Mouse Button is released the Browser in question collapses. It can be restored by clicking on the Open/Close Arrow that points in the "open" direction, or by dragging the Drag Handle.
