Hi,
I'm a more than satisfied WB2006 and (more recently) 2007 user. I tried every single PHP editor out there and must say that WB is by far the best editor for my taste.
But still - at my work I'm using 14" and sometimes 12" notebooks, where every pixel of workspace matters - is there any option that the full screen command would hide the title bar (and controls) of the application window, llke the one seen in Microsoft Visual Studio?
Current "Full Screen" could be called e.g. "Hide toolboxes" or something like that.
I think this move would give programmers that work on ultra-mobile laptops at least something to consider.
And from the coding point of view... a simple Mainform.BorderStyle:=bsNone; would do the trick.
Tnx!

Hi
You can curently use F4 or View -> Hide Panels to show/hide the file explorer and other panels, not quite full screen but a quick & easy way to get a bit more space.
Another option is to use the Layouts.
Save your current layout with all the toolbars and panels you need, do this by going to View -> Save layout.
Next, hide or turn off all the panels and toolbars, then save this new layout.
Now you can switch between the two by going to View -> Manage Layouts.
Cheers

Hi,
thank you for quick reply, but I already knew that - and it's good that "hide panels" and "layouts" functions exist.
But still there is room for improvement - I'm just proposing Visual Studio styled full screen. And I'm pretty sure many people would like to see this feature. It's pretty easy to incorporate and I also think that it wouldn't bother those who don't need it.

*bump*
I'm really really sorry about this bump, but I would like to remind Karlis about this feature request and I'm pretty sure it would be used by everybody on smaller displays.
And again, here is the code that would do the trick:
plus some code to store the setting to registry...
And the feature could be like totally hidden so it wouldn't annoy anyone...

The problem is that most users (99%) nowadays have normal screens and a maximize and compact layout should do the trick.
This kind of feature might be nice, but it will require an additional menu item, an option that needs to be read and saved upon launching/closing program and a couple of lines of code. It is not difficult, but what I am saying is that there is too little demand to justify adding more weight to the product. Yes it is just a few lines and just a couple of milliseconds added to the load time, but mind that we have hundreds of such tiny requests. So I would like to propose the following. everybody who needs this, please cast a vote. Those who are fro keeping "low weight" and do not ned this very much, also please cast your "nos", so that I can see the situation.
