Hi everybody,

Is it possible to have Borland Delphi 7.0 start up as a single
IDE, and not as a load of floating windows? The fact that
these floating windows can't be put on a fixed place is
driving me nuts!!

I've had a quick look through the options, but can't seem to
find anything...
Interestingly the docked appearance of recent Delphi IDEs was a
major complaint in the Borland newsgroups around the release of
Delphi 8/Delphi 2005. I guess it depends what you're used to (I
love the docked format, too :)).

It was, indeed, in the beginning. But if you ask people now, most of
them seem to be using the docked appearance. After a while, I also
preferred the docked IDE over the floating one.

Hm. Are you using a single monitor? I wonder how people with 2-screens
deal with docked mode.

I am using a single monitor, indeed. If you need 2 monitors, you may
want to use floating mode, although I personally would not want to
spread the IDE over 2 monitors.

I fail to see the real advantage of 2 monitors anyway, except the
larger screen space.
