I do not love windowed style like Delphi 7:

  I need monolith studio style: all in one big window:

How it can be made?

How it can be made?

Install the "anchordockingdsgn" package. Unfortunately it does not work very well yet in all situations.

Install AnchorDockingDsgn / EasyDockMgrDsgn package. The former looks more native, but less flexible than the latter. I use the latter with layout attached. Believe me, you won't like the totally integrated windows because the forms you're designing are still floating around.

Maybe you could like CodeTyphon 2.50 Docking

Install AnchorDockingDsgn / EasyDockMgrDsgn package...

It is good. Please give me links for download. I cant find it!

AnchorDockingDsgn and EasyDockMgrDsgn are included with Lazarus, you simply need to install those from the package list. A word of warning though, AnchorDockingDesign doesn't work right in the stable (0.9.30.2) version (for me it crashes the IDE both on linux and windows); if you're using the trunk version, it works fine and I like it better then EasyDockMgrDesign, so yo might give it a try. If using the stable version, better to stick to AnchorDockingDsgn I think.

If you wish to install the CodeTyphon edition, you got the link above; you get Lazarus and several additional components in one package.

That's kinda beautiful, but as with AnchorDockingDsgn, does the currently being designed forms stay on top or it's still hidden behind the integrated windows? I can't really find out from the screenshots.

I'm using Manual Docker

It is only docking the message window to the editor, but this is the most important for me. For the rest, lazarus can save window positions and dimensions.

I don't think it does, I believe all docking solutions let the designed forms drop behind other windows selected...

Not if you take a look at NetBeans/MSVS, they have special docked forms for designing forms. As a consequence, however, they don't have poDesigned for Position property (of course the name won't be the same as in LCL, but similar).

Oh, I see

[kuzduk]

there are any improvement on this?

[TurboRascal]

The AnchorDocking package works fine for me now in Lazarus 1.x.

KZDesktop works better for me (it's the only docking solution that docks design time forms ATM).
