Since the days of the Acorn Archimedes,
Ah, you're making me nostalgic! ;-) Every desktop has been playing
catchup ever since.
everything I use has had independent
windows that can be placed where *I* want them, and instantly rolled up to just
the title bar. From what I've observed I can work much faster than people using
single panel programs with any degree of complexity.
Every decent UI toolkit these days should provide the ability to
undock / drag out window elements. I actually disagree with the idea
of multiple windows by default, I just want to be able to drag out /
undock the elements that make sense *to me at a particular time* to be
in a separate window. That isn't a Zyn-specific point - using
multiple monitors it's particularly annoying to be forced to use a
single window.
