Wish Visual Designer concept changes?

[Zoltan Dinya]

I propose a little conceptual change of the visual designer:

1. "Add view" list gets a permanent position, more comfortable
2. Position of "Abstract designer" panel and the properties panel is changed. Designer is better positioned to the Add view items
3. Selector: WYSIWYG panel OR Properties. Simpler design, two windows instead of three. Mode1: "Add view"->"Designer"->"WYSIWYG" line is more logical if you want to design GUI items. Mode2: "Add view"->"Designer"->"Properties" to fine tune GUI and properties.

What do You think about this....?

I like it the way it is. Being able to pop out and pop in things where I want. You have it where you have to switch between tabs, I dont. I like single clicks. not multiple. Addview is nice, But it takes up unnecessary screen real-estate, when I just pull it down in the menu and works just fine as it is.

Honestly, I like the new design being all self contained as it sits.

The only thing I do like is the fact that you have your layout editor zoom bar out of the way of the actual contents unlike the current version where it floats on top and really gets in the way.

I like having the pop-outs and auto hides that the new version brings. Not everybody has 999999x9999999 resolution monitors and it really does help alot at least for me, where my laptop is 1440x900 res.
