Bforartists is made of several editor types. Headers can display a menu where you can switch to other editor types.
This menu is hidden by default. It is meant to edit the layouts, and should not be necessary for regular work. You can reveal it in the header right click menu. Or by splitting the view. The new window will then have the editor type menu again.
To split the view, move the mouse up right until it turns into a cross, then click and drag.
