Rocketdrive Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Please, for the sake of my sanity and feature parity: can we, after all those years, finally have horizontal palette docking on macOS? It seems like such a basic, yet important UI thing. I admit I can't stand floating palettes. They nag at my sanity every time I use the apps. Which happens to be a daily routine once the client approves a project. To me the UI is the visual groundwork for everything else, and should be as consistent as possible across platforms. If there is an insurmountable technical reason, tell us about it. If it's a design decision, I'd like to challenge it, because it really makes no sense. If it's an oversight, I'd kindly ask to take care of it, it has been such a long time. Cheers, Marin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Can you explain a bit more about what you mean by horizontal palette docking? Are you asking for the option to have more than one left or right Studio or something else?

Rocketdrive Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 @R C-R On Windows, I can have multiple columns of docked palettes on either side of the screen. On macOS, I can have only one column of palettes on either side of the screen. I am asking for more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocketdrive Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 I'd totally appreciate if @MEB or someone from the dev team gave their thoughts on this. It still does not make sense to me, apart from the fact that I am left with a clunkier, less productive interface in the Mac version.
