The layout of the SMC window is highly configurable. Use the following to change your layout:
View menu--The Show option in the View menu hides or displays the optional bars and panes. The other options in the View menu control the display of nodes in the view pane.
Console menu--The Preferences option lets you set: the initial toolbox, the orientation of panes, clicking or double-clicking for selection, text and/or icons in the tool bar, fonts, default tool loading, authentication prompts, and advanced logins.
Context Help/Console Events toggles--The icons at the bottom of the information pane let you toggle between displaying context-sensitive help and console events.
