# Main Window

The Geeqie main window is designed for quick and easy navigation of images. The window consists of three regions: the File Pane , the Folder pane , and the Image Pane (optionally bordered by Sidebars) , all bordered by Menus and Status Bar .

Multiple instances of the main window may be started via the File ▸ New Window ( `Ctrl`+`N` ) menu item, and the Layout of each may be individually configured in the Window Layout dialogue.

If several instances of the main window are open, they may be closed individually or simultaneously as defined in Window Layout .
