# Adjusting Window Mode Settings

You can customize how Parallels Desktop appears and behaves when in Window mode.

### Set Whether Windows Applications Show in the Dock

You can choose whether or not to show icons for Windows applications in the macOS Dock when in the Window mode. If you prefer to work with applications by manipulating them on the Windows desktop, you may not want to be distracted by seeing them in the Dock alongside your macOS application icons.

1. Do one of the following:
   * Click the Parallels Desktop icon in the menu bar and choose **Configure**.
   * If the Parallels Desktop menu bar is visible at the top of the screen, choose **Actions >** **Configure**.
2. Click **Options** and then click **Applications**.
3. To show Windows application icons in the Dock when in Window mode, deselect **Show Dock icons in Coherence only**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/pdfm-ug/parallels-desktop-for-mac-27-users-guide/use-windows-on-your-mac/setting-how-windows-works-with-macos/setting-windows-to-appear-in-a-single-window/adjusting-window-mode-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
