# 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**.
