control panel disappear?

Anyone know how to make the control panel window go away? I vaguely remember that you could double click the top of it and collapse it. Does that not work anymore? Or am I making that up? Or is there a key command to make it go away? I remember a way to do that for when you were using a control surface and didn't need it. But can't find it in commands.

I don't think you can close the Control Panel, or at least I don't know how.

I distinctly remember seeing a dude from Mackie do it with a Mackie control... maybe you need one of those to do it? Really wish DP had transport in the TO window like Pro Tools does in edit.

You can make a window set with all the window over it and then recall that window set with key binding.

Can you move it to a second monitor and ignore it?

The Control Panel is the only DP window that cannot be closed. It even says so in the manual.

Kind regards.

.

Or do a window set where you cover it with another window, so it's in the back.

If you quit DP, the control panel disappears until you restart the prog.

Classic!!

That's what I'd call an extreme solution. And it works

It is the only way to get rid of the control panel! I may be a PITA but I don't lie.

In Leopard, simply drag it to a different "Space" which amounts to a separate monitor. Works wonderfully.

You can add as many spaces -- virtual monitors -- as you want, and distribute your windows across them as you wish. Since you can leave them all open, there is no need to make room for other windows -- just add a space.

Leave it to the Shoosh-meister to figure that out! Next question: Why would you want to loose it?

For the space-challenged, the control panel takes up valuable screen real-estate. But with Spaces, it just doesn't matter anymore. Why add a monitor, which is an expensive solution and whose extra space fills up almost instantly. I can easily fill up 4, 5, or 6 virtual monitors in Spaces.

IN other words... beats me why someone would want to close the control panel!
