JMap Pro 7's graphical interface is modular (note that there is also a simplified version of JMap Pro that does not permit the user interface to be reorganized). Each window can be moved to provide a customized interface. To move a window, you must click on the top portion of it, then drag and drop it to the desired area. You may want to hold down the Ctrl key when moving a window to avoid automatically dropping it onto the sides of the application. Most windows include a set of display options located in their upper right corner, allowing you to toggle to floating mode, to enable auto-hide, and to close the window.
The following illustration shows the main parts of the interface.
