Behavior and limits
UI scale and Density mode solve different problems: one changes overall size, the other changes spacing. Use Reset Layout if a window has moved off screen.
Some options are conditional. Multi-window preset controls are available in Multi-Window mode; drawer behavior applies to the docked layout.
