[Gretl-devel] The post-conference GUI arrangement thread

Hello everybody, at the conference we decided that we should collect all ideas on a GUI reform (different window arrangements) in one thread. I thought I'd start this thread here. Please contribute to the brainstorming, ideally by naming examples and/or giving links. 1) Have a window a bit like Stata where output goes in one area, you type commands in another one, and there's a command log (and I'm not sure what else right now). However, I think Stata also sometimes opens extra windows. 1b) RStudio: I've named this 1b instead of an extra number, because it seems this is somewhat similar to the Stata window. Please correct me if this is inaccurate, and/or explain the differences (pros and cons). 2) Have one big meta window that acts a little lig a virtual desktop just for gretl. All newly opened gretl windows would go into the meta window, no extra window outside the meta window would ever show up. The role model for this would be Eviews. Feel free to add suggestions, this is a brainstorming thread. Have a good weekend Sven
