How to maximise and minimise layout with one click?

[nightstalker]

I have used other platforms like Thinkorswim and IBKR TWS where stuff like chart windows are within 1 application window. If a user wants to pop out a certain window, then they can do so.

However, for ninjatrader, stuff like charts and dom are in their own window on the taskbar. This makes it extremely frustrating if I want to have an overview of all my ninjatrader layout, I have to click each window 1 by 1 to maximise them. For example, I may be watching youtube on google chrome and then wanna switch to ninjatrader to trade. Then I have to click each Ninjatrader window on taskbar to show up.

Is there a way to put each window into just 1 Ninjatrader window on taskbar that would minimise or maximise all ninjatrader windows with just 1 click?

It's such a frustrating layout that I'm puzzled why no one has complained about it.

Hello nightstalker,

Thank you for your post.

Various windows in NinjaTrader have a tabbed interface, which give you the ability to have multiple tabs in the same window.
Panels can be added to a chart during the process of adding/editing a Data Series or Indicator.
Please visit the links to our Help Guide below for more information:

Operations > Charts > Chart Panels
Operations > Windows > Using Tabs

Please let us know if we may be of any further assistance.

Sorry, I don't think you get my problem. Pls refer to the screenshot uploaded

Why are there so many windows on my taskbar instead of 1 combined window that would minimise and maximise all my layout that consist of all window?

Hello nightstalker,

Thank you for your reply.
This is a Windows problem.
The Windows taskbar is showing window labels and isn't combining taskbar buttons.
I suggest that you do the following to change your taskbar settings:

• Right-click an empty space on the taskbar, then select 'Taskbar settings'
• Under the 'Combine taskbar buttons' section, select "Always, hide labels"

If this does not resolve the issue, please contact Microsoft support.

Thank you for choosing NinjaTrader.

You can't have one combined window like thinkorswim. Technically, you can achieve this by using either a VPS with a remote control program like TeamViewer or Radmin, or by using a virtual machine like VirtualBox. It's a silly workaround but you can get all your NT windows in one window.

Thank god, you understand my issue. This is such a huge issue for me. It's mind blogging that u have to spin up containers just to 'fix' this issue. How do ppl actually put up with this is beyond my comprehension
