The only difference is that instead of floating elements, as in Poser 7, the elements dock to one another (for the most part).  The same widgets are still there.  I'd screenshot your old Poser 7 setup and do your best to just set up the 2014 UI like that.

To move things around, go near the top of a widget and in most cases, the icon turns to a hand.  Click (keep it down) and drag and you'll get a blue shaded box.  As you move over other things the blue shaded box should appear.  Where you release that item will be placed there and docked in that position (snapping next to other items).

If you click the little box in the upper right corner, you can make it "lock" by un-ticking Drag-Dock Enabled.

Does that help?
