While working in other windows, you can bring up the Control Center by moving the mouse to a particular area of the screen. To define the area, open the Activation page of the Properties notebook.

 

To display the Control Center when you are working in other applications, mark the checkbox beside the appropriate Activate when Mouse section. Then choose an edge or corner of the screen. For example, if you choose Top-Left, the Control Center is surfaced whenever you move the mouse to the top-left corner of the screen. If you define multiple Control Centers, each one can have a different activation area.

 

To disable mouse activation, unmark the appropriate checkbox.

Resizing the Window

The Control Center is a window which can be resized using the mouse. For example, the default shape of the window is long and narrow. You can change the window size so it extends across the width of your screen rather than down the length of the screen.
