## Setting the Palette Dock Location

The UI Designer palette gives you access to the standard class objects which may be used to build the UI for your S60 application. The palette and its associated Component Information pane (displayed beneath the palette) extend from the top to the bottom of the UI Design View.

The palette and the layout/non-layout regions compete for the horizontal space of the UI Designer. You may place the palette to the left or right of the layout/Non-layout regions. The UI Designer provides two methods to change the palette placement.

#### Setting the Palette Placement via Drag and Drop.

- Click the Palette title bar and drag the Palette to the desired location

The cursor changes to a cross with four arrows (Figure 1) when the palette is clicked. Drag the palette to the left or right side of the UI Design Editor view to dock the palette to that side.
