Hi all, Starting with tomorrow’s daily build (but not the 1.9 release candidate or [eventual] production release), most tools can no longer be docked into the top or bottom areas of the main window, just the sides. This should prevent a lot of accidental grief from accidentally docking a tool into the toolbar area. This policy can be overridden by the tools themselves if typical use of that tool might involve docking into the top or bottom areas. Initially, two tools override the policy: the sequence viewer can be docked anywhere (since you might want it as wide as possible), and the tool created by the buttonpanel command can be docked into the top area, so that it can be placed next to the toolbar. If there are other tools that can really benefit from being docked into the top or bottom areas, please let me know. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Hi Eric, Thanks for this. Just to clarify, how does this change affect custom buttonpanel tools? I'm not sure whether this falls under "top area", but my current layout incorporates buttonpanels docked adjacent to the toolbar. Cheers, Yang

Ah, should have finished reading the entire message! It's 2am here. Question answered. Cheers, Yang
