Moving and adjusting windows
When you launch a 2D app, it opens in a window attached to the dock. You can have up to three windows attached to your dock. You can have multiple instances of the same 2D app open, such as multiple browser windows.
If three windows are already attached to the dock when you launch another app, one of the previously opened windows will minimise and be shown as icons beneath the dock.
To have more than three windows open at the same time, you can detach windows from your dock and move them anywhere in your virtual environment. You can have up to three windows around you and three windows attached to your dock.
There are several ways that you can rearrange windows in your virtual environment to fit your needs:
- Moving windows
- Minimising or closing windows
- Resizing windows
- Entering cinema view

Oculus button to hide or show all docked and undocked windows.
