Monitor panels are a set of panels which allows you to monitor various information for all or some windows/events.

Panels can be enabled/disabled from the View menu or from the [[/dockpanels]] command.

By default they are docked inside AdiIRC to the left,right,top or bottom and can be grouped together as tabs or split side-by-side or top-to-bottom.

Panels can also be stacked on top/bottom of each other or to the right/left of each other.

The position,size and dock status of all panels are saved and restored.

There are various options for the monitor panels in [[Options Dialog|Options]] -> [[Monitor_Panels_Options|Monitor Panels]].
