You can open separate windows for the Information pane, Chat/Message pane, and Main pane (game view only), then move and size the new windows individually and interact with each window area separately. The original program window remains on your screen.
To open a separate window, click the pane's Tear-Off icon . To close an opened window, click the window close button in the title bar.
When you are at a table, if you click the tear-off button the Main pane you can open new window showing the lobby (so that you may view players and friends or tables lists without leaving your table). The new window displays the lobby in it's Main area, and can display an Information pane and a chat pane as well. [example]
You can also to tear-off just the Information pane to have a separate area for accessing additional information during the game play. [example]
You can open multiple separate Chat/Message windows and Information windows — but only one separate Game window. [example]
The separate windows let you view and interact with different information in each window. All at the same time you can watch or play a game, view lists of tables and players in the lobby, and have multiple Chat/Message and Information windows open to communicate with different individuals.
