# Layout

Foxora Desktop is one window split into a handful of regions: a sidebar on the left, the main deck in the middle, the Stage on the right, an optional dock along the bottom, and a title bar across the top. Everything you do lives in one of them.

## The regions

The shell holds only layout state — every region is a slot the app fills, so the frame is identical no matter what surface is on screen.

- Sidebar — the left rail, with sections for Sessions, Files, and Agents. A search button at the top opens the command center. Collapse it, or hover the left edge to peek it back.
- Main deck — the center column: your conversation, open files, and surface tabs. This is where most work happens.
- The Stage — the right panel. Agents drive it: a live browser, a rendered document, a diff, a table. It opens to about half the window so it’s useful the moment it appears. See the Stage.
- Bottom dock — an optional region under the deck for Problems / Find, resizable from its top edge.
- Title bar — the host / project breadcrumb, the source-control chip, the search button, and the panel toggles.

## macOS vs Windows / Linux

The shell lays itself out differently depending on who draws the window chrome:

- macOS & web — floating cards on a canvas. The traffic-light controls sit in the sidebar’s top row, and the main surface carries its own rounded header.
- Windows & Linux — one flush, full-width title bar (navigation + breadcrumb + minimize / maximize / close) over flush sidebar, main, and Stage panels.

> Same app, native feelFoxora detects your OS and renders the matching chrome automatically — floating cards on a Mac, an edge-to-edge title bar on Windows and Linux. The regions and their behavior are identical; only the framing differs.

## Your layout sticks

Panel widths, which sections are collapsed, the open project, and the active session all persist locally — reopen Foxora and the window is exactly as you left it. Details in Panels & view state.
