On the Navigator tool bar you will find a combo box that says "Standard" (as
long as you're not debugging). This is the standard configuration of
windows (perspective) that you normally use. When you start debugging, you
go into the "Debug" perspective and the window configuration changes. You
can change position and size and visibility of the windows in each of these
two perspectives and that is remembered on a per-perspective basis.

There are some other canned perspectives, "Help", "Browse", and "Hide Docks"
that you can use. These are not really any different from the Standard and
Debug perspectives, they're just pre-arranged window visibilities/sizes that
you might use to look at Help, Browse your application, or max-out your
editing area. You can configure each of these perspectives just like you
can Standard and Debug.

At present you can't create your own perspectives, but it's something that's
easy to implement and I'll have a bash at doing it.

There are a lot of things I would quite like to do; some of the experiments
at CrossWorks Central have been successful, some not.

Personally I like hiding all the toolbars to get rid of them...
