What did I do???

I clicked something, don't know what, but I lost the transport and the whole control bar.
I clicked views and clicked on control bar but that wouldn't bring it back. I finally clicked "Lens" uptop it said none, I put it to Advanced and it brought everything back, but not exact like it was before.
I use two screens and always have the mixer on the right and tracks on the left. Whenever I close Sonar and reopen it, everything is on the main screen and the "Navigator" is showing above the tracks as well.
 
How do I get it back to how I had it before?

    Maybe you selected a different screenset? I don't think you accidentally selected a different lense as there are no keystrokes that can do this, but there are keystrokes (default ones are Num keys) that can change screensets

    Still can't find what it is, even when changing projects it reverts back to the single screen and I have to click Screen set to get it back to normal then I have to rt click in the track area to the left to "restore default control order"
     
    Too bad there isn't a restore all settings in Sonar like in windows.

    I did this same thing before a long time ago. The only thing I remember is when I found out that I'd turned it off and when I found out what it was....it was a "shoot, that was simple" moment.
    :) Not much help, but I do remember it wasn't a big thing.....

    Go to "views" then click on control bar, that should get it back...

    bz2838, I've got it back, that wasn't working before either, but even when i do get it all back, it still reverts back to the way i don't want it upon each next project load or when I start up Sonar. I know it's something small somewhere though.

    as promidi asked, are you using a Lens ?
    that is one of the only things that will globally default your multidock settings (even a locked screenset).
     
    Try clicking on your screenset options and choose "Lock screenset".

    I got it back. I was using lens as that was the only thing that would bring back the control bar. I rt clicked on where the control bar is supposed to be (after I turned off Lenses [thanks chuck]) a drop down came up that said expand control bar so I clicked that and everything popped up.
    Learned supm else bout Sonar these past two days lol, thanks ALL!
