Hello I am trying to find out if my window is Main or Pop up? if you right click on folder, you will see Symbols for Window type at creation but not once it's created, All windows looks like main window.

Let me know if anyone knows easy way to find out or for future ignition should show correct symbol to quickly find out what type of window it is.

Thank you

Windows are not "locked in" to one of those types. Those are just convenience **presets** for various window properties. Compare the window's settings in the properties panel. You can change behavior by changing the relevant properties.

Look at the Appearance/Title, of course, you might have changed this.
