[Gretl-devel] window arrangements

Hi, first of all, as always many thanks to Allin and Jack for the new release! Gretl continues to get better and better at what I still consider to be a remarkable pace. One interface-related example of that is the text-area-splitting in some windows that was recently introduced. It got me thinking about some aspects of gretl's general interface -- sometimes I have too many gretl windows floating around for my taste. It gets confusing and switching to the one I want sometimes takes a while because I have to flip through so many others. So I would like to suggest to somehow consolidate the various windows a little in order to reduce the number of open windows. For example, what about integrating the script output window into the respective script window itself? In the upper part you might have the script, and in the lower part the output. In the same spirit, I think the session view window could be integrated into the main window, side by side. I used to think that such GUI reforms are very difficult to program, but as I said, the recent window-splitting additions inspired some hope. But of course these are just general thoughts and in a sense that would be a luxury, not really a necessity. Thanks, sven
