• Preferences (Expert) - Opens a Preferences (Expert) window which you use to override all values for all Solo options. Because there is no checking for validity of settings when you use this tool, you must be very cautious using it. If problems occur, try resetting the default values using "Factory Default."

To specify the Window docking settings

By default, when you first open Solo, every data figure and interface in Solo is a floating window, which is a window that you can drag to any position on your desktop. You can also resize a floating window. You can select different Window docking settings to change the floating behavior of data figures, interfaces, or both.
