heya; that's okay, momo, i look like picnic sometimes. (er, i guess. :) ) no, there's no 'window shade' thing in the windows poser that i know of. you can turn off the tool title bars, which leaves the bare 'dots' and 'balls.' of course, that is no help with the body part dial list, since with that off, you can't tell which body part you have selected. use ctrl-click to make the rows into columns, if you haven't figured that out yet. also, stack those suckers in real close. i have my tools and display mode rows overlapping slightly, and they overlap the side controls on the display window, and the camera title overlaps the light controls. just be careful; if you cover up a title too much, you won't be able to grab it and move it. dr zik: thanks for using 'its' correctly. :) woulda also been nice if you spelled yield and vertical right, too. ;) but you must be a grammar teacher not a spelling teacher!
