I'm gradually using RealBand more, mainly as I find VSTi's and VST's I'd like to use. Over time, my screen is getting cluttered with these sub (specific function) windows parked along the bottom. Most of them I have not deliberately opened, or ever used. But the thing is, they seem to be immune to the close 'X' button. And going to Windows>Close all has no effect either. I obviously need guidance (a) how to get rid of them and (b) how not to trigger them ! Sincerely Ian Graham Wales UK Late-developing enthusiast for jazz / blues. Principally pianist

Maximising them in turn I find they are: Classic Tracks View Bars Tempo Map Sysex Guitar Mixer Meter Map The Mixer is probably my default view. The others I have never actually used. I may have invoked them involuntarily. And here's the thing: all present with the standard Windows 'x' to close - but they don't close when that is clicked. They just 'park' at the bottom of the screen, just their topbars visible. Sincerely Ian G. Late-developing enthusiast for jazz / blues. Principally pianist

I don't believe there is a way to actually delete the window headers.
