In this selection you can change the appearance and size of the four main windows (Mimosa views), and select the active one. Most probably you will always keep he currently active window maximised and use the Tile or Cascade selections only in exceptional cases and when the available screen resolution is high in enough.

You cannot close any of the four views (Components, Courses, Weeks, Timetables), but you can minimise one or more of them (by clicking the minimise button on top right corner). Those views that are not minimised, are affected by the Cascade and Tile commands.
