Customizing the Aurora Browse window

Aurora Browse can be customized to suit your individual needs.

the mouse over the tab causes the autohidden view to appear. Clicking again on the
thumbtack icon returns the view to its original location.

view is now separate from the other Browse views. Double-clicking on the blue title bar
returns the view to its original location.
