Question / Help Need help with Window Capture

Hi! I'm new to OBS and I need help getting set up. Within five minutes, I hit my first hurdle: Window Capture. I want to select a window to capture for painting, and every tutorial I've seen shows me a window that looks like this:

Yet when I select Window Capture, I get a window that looks like this:

They look nothing alike! What am I doing wrong? I need all the options displayed in the first image. Please help.

Classic is not supported. The guides you're following to get the first image are outdated.

I don't know what "Classic is not supported" means. Classic what? Never mind, I'll rephrase my problem: The second image displays my painting canvas, but I would also like to capture the associated windows/panels like "Layers" and "Navigator" so that my stream looks like this:

I thought that the "Entire Window" option in the first image would solve that program, but I can't find it in the current version of OBS. How do I capture all the windows in a painting program?

you need to use display capture, and you're going to have some major performance issues with that on windows 7.
