Hi again, I've been using the "embedded console" feature setting for quite a while now, and like it a lot. When installing gretl on a new system together with a colleague, I was reminded that the console is not embedded by default. So the first impression when starting up gretl (at least on Windows) is that you get a very white and very empty window, which did not impress the colleague very much, to be honest. So what about switching the default to have the console embedded? One further thought to make the initial window "less empty" in an easy way: why not have an initial greeting message in the GUI console, similar to what gretl does on a "real" console in the CLI. Something like: " Welcome to gretl 2023b User guide and further documentation under the Help menu See Help > About gretl for copyright and license information Load a dataset under File > Open Data " cheers sven
