Since there is only one Sub Menu ( "Open Designer" ) under Designer Menu it would be nice to have it directly in Top Menu to save an additional click.
I would have wished to have "open designer" in Top Menu even otherwise since it is very frequently clicked at.

Many years ago it was configured like this and several members didn't like it as it is not standard UX in Windows.
There are many ways now to open the designer. This one is my favorite:

As a B4X programmer, you come to appreciate and value efficiency and effectiveness over tradition. ;)

IOW, nobody should care about "standard UX in Windows" if it in any way hampers app dev.

However, you could put an "Open Designer" button on the button bar. That at least prevents one from 1) having to select a tab that has code that loads a layout, and 2) scrolling to the top. A single-click button bar would do the trick nicely.

Just my two cents. ?
