I appreciate the information. It would be nice if the program did this and kept everything in a stable mode as single window mode as in Photoshop. Still it's a work around that will help me in creating textures by being able to check my color matching with the main piece I'm working on. I've been on other forums for Gimp but so far this site has the most polite people and provide information that is useful and quite knowledgeable. I think I'll be quite happy here.
