Maybe? Almost all desktop systems provide some way for users to easily arrange common setups like this... do you need to manage this from within your application at all or can you just punt it out to the windowing system? (This has the added benefit of letting users make other choices that might make more sense in unusual setups like tall vertical monitors, multiple monitors that aren't the same resolution, aren't aligned, etc... where strict side-by-side may not work or be desirable.) > The upshot is that I can then no longer use menus either because menus can > only exist in frames and I would need more that the single top-level frame. > Any suggestions? > I am currently thinking I should use the panel-tab with a couple of panels > each containing an editor-canvas and place buttons on these panels instead of > using menus. My racket/gui experience is limited and rusty, so I'm not going to comment on specifics. What I will say though, is that it seems to me like you've been XY-ing this problem the last few threads and might benefit from taking a step back. You may be more likely to get better input if you could give a description of what you're ultimately trying to achieve rather than suggesting solutions and problem solving the little details out of context. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
