On Windows you can maximize the main Lazarus form (the one with the menu and the control's palette) and it stays in its correct (constrained?) size. On Linux, though, it maximizes to the full work area, leaving everything hidden behind it.
That got me thinking, is there some simple way (other than installing the docked IDE packkages, please) of embedding the primary source-editors form into that main form?
Probably not, huh? So, in that case, and for those who know: would it be too difficult to implement? Say, for example, by moving the editors to a frame and inserting that into an independent form or the main form, config depending.
I've been eye-greping the sources (lightly) and it looks like it could be done with realtive easy but I've the head on other projects and may be missing some crucial detail ...
While I'm at it I may look into embedding the Messages window into the editors. That would be nice too.
Just imagine: a really integrated base DE with extra windows poping up when you want them and down when you don't.
