Hammer - weird layout

This:

The 4 boxes are weird, how do I get them to all connect together?

maximise them?

Try going to Tools -> Options -> General (tab) -> Untick ‘Use Independent Window Config’

Edit: You would need to reload any open map.

But first try maximizing them.

Yeah I tried maximizing them before obviously but it would maximize 1 window: one huge 3d textured or one huge Top view.

I Unticked ‘Use Independent Window Config’
restarted hammer and it worked thanks chrisp.

If it happens again,
View>Autosize 4 views
Maximize.

Anytime!
