InDesign UI

I finally had to make the switch to Adobe CC and I'm having a big problem with InDesign at the moment (I'm sure PS and Illustrator will frustrate me later). Because of the nature of my graphic design work, I DO NOT like tabbed documents in an application, I prefer one doc open, with all the menus, control bars and tools floating "in front" of my work so I can zoom in really tight when I need to...etc. I don't need to explain myself. ID CS6 allowed me to do this easily. I cannot figure out how to set this up via Preferences, or any other way in ID CC 2017. This will also be a problem with PS and AI I presume. It is the way I work. But I do like many of the other new features.

Does anyone have any suggestions. I hope it's not, "get used to tabbed docs?"

Regards,

R

    Sorry winterm. My working document is still floating above a doc with all the tool boxes and stuff. Here is a screen shot:

    If you want the old school Mac behavior, go to the InDesign Window menu and near the bottom, uncheck Application Frame.

    Preferences > Interface > Panels ? Or I didn't get somewhat here?
