I have noticed that sometimes, in photoshop 7, only the little boxes come up (layers, history, etc) and the canvas come up (not the window backround or the top menu bar). Under what conditions does photoshop assume this 'mode'? It is seemingly at random.

Also, on apple macs, it only shows the menus, canvas, and boxes, so the desktop/program that is behind shows through where these elements are not. Can this be achieved with windows xp professional and photoshop 7?

The F key scrolls through the base screen options and the tab key turns the tools on and off.

Some other graphics editors show blank screen like the Mac – Gimp for Windows does among others. Photoshop does it on my second screen with just my tools and I wish it didn’t. But I don’t think it can be set to do that on the main screen.
