Source Editor Maximizer

Source Editor MAXimizer is Lazarus IDE plugin that forces Source Editor to be maximized under the IDE main bar.

The plugin is designed to mimic Delphi 7 UI and prevent to key IDE windows from overlapping each other, without using any kind of docking. Docking is available these days for Lazarus IDE, thus you might not want to use the package at all.

The code is written in cross-platform manner. But due to inconsistency in windows placement functions, across different platforms the results might not be as good as expected. Possible issues are not good enough placement of the maximized source editor. Editor might "jump" on maximize.

The following operating systems have been verified and tested:

• Windows (tested on XP and Win10) - the best results.
• Mac OS X (Carbon) - "jumps", but is placed correctly.

To be done

• check for multi-monitor system

How to Use
