Tear-off
Tear-off is a feature in software applications that allows users to detach a part of the interface and use it separately. This can be useful when working with multiple monitors or when needing to focus on a specific section of the application.
For example, in a graphic design software, a user may want to tear off the color palette and place it on a second monitor for easier access. This allows the user to have the color palette constantly visible without taking up space on the main screen.
Another example is in a web browser, where a user can tear off a tab and have it open in a separate window. This can be helpful for comparing two websites side by side or for dragging the tab onto a different monitor.
Tear-off functionality is commonly found in applications that have a lot of toolbars, palettes, or windows that users may want to rearrange for their workflow. It provides a customizable and flexible user experience that can improve productivity.
