Window | Layouts

RubyMine lets you move tool windows, change their view modes, resize them, and save these settings as layouts. You can have several tool window layouts and switch between them when needed.

When you start working with the IDE, there is one exising Custom layout with factory settings. You can modify it or create new layouts for your preferred tool window arrangement.
