Group of preferences interfaces
Interface NameIn/OutStabilitySpecified in What Document?
multiview.toolbarVisibleExportedUnder Development

The visibility of toolbar is controlled by a preference shared with editor module. The multiview implementation listens and uses following property:

    MimeLookup.getLookup(MimePath.EMPTY).lookup(Preferences.class).getBoolean("toolbarVisible", true);    
    

to find out whether all toolbars in all multiviews should be visible or not. Also, since 1.25, the toolbar is hidden completely. There is a tab switching action in multi view component popup menu to compensate this.

Group of branding interfaces
Interface NameIn/OutStabilitySpecified in What Document?
MultiViewElement.Spliting.EnabledExportedUnder Development

By default a MultiViewElement allows the containing TopComponent to split it. Some systems may however find this not of any use. Then they should brand the MultiViewElement.Spliting.Enabled to false. NetBeans IDE by default does allow spliting.
