Hi,
I created a new docked form editor, which can be found in Lazarus Trunk via MainMenu -> Package -> Install/Uninstall Packages... dockedformeditor. It comes with a optional WYSIWYG anchor designer. You have to deinstall other docked form editors like Sparta_DockedFormEditor first!
This package is initially forked from Sparta_DockedFormEditor and its replacement in future Lazarus versions. All Sparta packages are now deprecated and will be removed in a future Lazarus release.
For more info, I wrote a little Wiki page:
https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/DockedFormEditorIt's written and tested on Windows 7 and fundamental tested on Windows 10, Linux Mint Cinnamon with GTK2, QT(4) and QT5. It can be used as standalone IDE extension or in combination with AnchorDockingDsgn.
Now I need your support. Please test it - especially if you are currently using Sparta_DockedFormEditor - if there are open bugs or feature requests. If possible, use bug tracker for bugs!
Thank you!
Michl
