1.4 Customisation

These panes are highly configurable, and they can be moved  around easily and safely. A problem with the version 7 Designer  was that panes could easily get placed where you did not want,  even over the main window. In version 9 this is all better, and  you get clear icon markers of where you can dock your panes, and   clear indications of where they will end up. This makes learning  the placement easy, and prevents many mistakes.

A nice feature is the ability to have two panes stacked vertically.  This was not possible before, and allows small panes to be  moved to not take up too much room.

All the panes can be toggled from view in the  View menu, and all can be unpinned to allow  them to slide out when the tab is hovered  over,  as in version 7.

Additional panes that will not be kept docked are the messages,  for  validation and deployment as well as a few other occasions,  Translations for multiple language editing, and the search pane.  Oddly the results of the search pane do not go into the messages   window, although they seem very similar in nature. That may be  by  design or not, but we think the two should be the same.
