ok.. so I must be dumb, or blind , or possibly both.. I have like 26 tracks i'm working on at the moment and it's a pain to see them all with everything else one the screen. I have a 2nd screen, vertically oriented, that I could display all of them in a size I can see. I see no way to detatch the track portion of the view to do it tho.. is that NOT an option on Vegas 23?

Put the main Vegas Pro timeline on the portrait screen and drag everything else to the landscape screen. I'd show you pictures, but I only use one monitor.

that's what i'm trying to do, but other than the bus window, I can't find anything to grab to move the windows except the resize that makes the explorer section larger / smaller

See if the video uploaded by LdM_Edit in this recent forum post helps.

The Vegas Pro 23 user manual also has detailed instructions on docking and undocking windows:
