The best way to test non-opaque undocking is to set the standard flags: `CDockManager::setConfigFlags(CDockManager::DefaultNonOpaqueConfig)`.
### Tab-menu for easy handling of many tabbed dock widgets
Tabs are a good way to quickly switch between dockwidgets in a dockarea. However, if the number of dockwidgets is too large, this may affect the usability of the tab bar.

### Many different ways to detach dock widgets

This enables the implementation of user interfaces with dynamically created editors, like in word processing applications or source code development tools.
