I am running Spyder v3.2.4 in Windows 10.

I have gone to Tools > Preferences > IPython console > Graphics > Graphics Backend > Automatic to get my graphs/figures in separate windows. My question is, can I change the window type used to display these graphics? For example, in the window style I have I cannot copy or print the graphic directly. Instead having to save first. Is there a way around this?

The window style I have is:

window title bar

(Spyder maintainer here) Plot windows are not generated nor handled by Spyder but by Matplotlib. Unfortunately (as you correctly point out) you can only save plots in them.
