IDE questions and No Main Win

[matty47]

Hi, a couple of questions re the IDE.
1. The ide opens maximised ie. fills the monitor screen. Is there a way to set it to open not maximised - maybe at the previous size?
2. Default dir for projects is in the User/Public/Public Documents..... Is there a way to set the default project directory?

3. I am trying a dll that opens its own window. Is there a way to not open or hide the default PB window? Set its size to something really small??

None of these are "game changers" but would be nice if possible. Thanks,

questions re the IDE.

    Sadly the  PlayWRITE IDE was discontinued a long time ago.   I do have a copy of one version of it, but not key (commercial) components.  So its a not starter.

      There was meant to be, but it never made it's way into PB classic, ..  You could, as you suggest change the window styling (there's examples on the forums)  for the mean time.

Thanks for the reply. What IDE do you use?

An updated default one (1.1.9 Beta 3 seen bellow)..  There's few updates beyond whatever revisions comes in base installers tho. 

There's few discussions on the boards about replacements, but nothing that's completely workable.     

All those tidbits can be found in the maintenance boards bellow.
