Resizing docked panels

When panels are docked side-by-side, one can drag them around as a unit with the bar at the top edge, but the resizing grabbers on the bottom edge remain independent. Is there any way connect them, so hat the whole block can be re-sized at once?

Hi @Semaphoric, Thank you for reaching out! If I'm getting this correctly, there is no native feature in Photoshop to link the bottom resizing grabbers of side-by-side docked panels for simultaneous resizing at this moment. It would be helpful if you could send us a screen recording to clarify.

Thanks a bunch!

I was laying out a new workspace, arranging panels on the second monitor into blocks, one with the Layers, Channels, and Paths panels docked side-by-side, with all three the same height. I can position them as a unit with the top bar, but have to re-size each separately.

I had just changed my Desktop magnification to 125%, so the several Workspaces I made over the past year weren't usable. When I built them, and again with this one, I thought, "This would be so much faster if I could . . ." I thought I'd ask here, to see if there was a trick I didn't know. Setting up a Workspace is the only time it matters, so it will probably not concern me again until I get a 4K monitor or something.

John, I've mentioned my dog's dinner mess of workspaces dealing with scaling and screen resolution. I did see an article that claimed to allow individual scaling for each screen with Windows 11, but have not got round to trying it yet. I must say it has been a PITA, and as much as I enjoy working this stuff out, I am pretty much over it for the time being. I have kept the different workspaces just in case, but my gut feeling is that I will be stuck with the current compromise. 😞 _AND_ it is cold and wet here, which doesn't help (I have a friend in Canada who laughs when I say it's cold).
