Hi,

When you install the 'AnchordockingDsgn' package, the IDE becomes docked. The package also installs a dialog under tools-options that allow you to set various options.

I've tried to understand what the options are, but have not been able to determine the effect for all of them. In particular, the following are mysterious:

* Scale on resize: No visible effect.
* Flatten headers: No visible effect.
* Header align top: No visible effect.
* Header align left: no visible effect.

Anyone can explain what this means ?

Maybe also a good idea to add this to the wiki, as I understand it, the docked form of the IDE is very popular, so maybe this will help a lot of people.

If you resize the Window (in which you have several docked IDE-Windows), then the new Width/Height is equally distributed/taken from all docked forms.
Otherwise the left/bottom-most one is cut.

* Flatten headers: No visible effect.

I do see a visible effect on the "bars" surrounding the caption of each docked form.
Maybe depends on the chosen style.

* Header align top: No visible effect. * Header align left: no visible effect

Based on a faint memory from very long ago, those are sizes, that determine, if the dock-handle goes to the top or left, when a window becomes docked....
But not sure.

Indeed; Right-bottom one here...

Well, you have good eyes. indeed.

Could very well be, I will test.

Thanks for the tips !
