After seeing so many tricks and aids to help code with DreamWeaver MX, I have been making a conscious effort to use the panels more effectively and not hand code EVERYTHING. I'm beginning to come around to what DreamWeaver can do, it has taken a year and I still miss some features from Studio/Homesite that have not yet made it into DreamWeaver. I'm happy that in the Sneak Peaks they showed some more hopefully being included in the next release. Anyways, I have found myself bouncing around the various panes a lot more as I utilized their functionality. I was actually beginning to feel a bit constrained that I wanted several open at once to their maximum size, but that caused me to have to keep opening and closing various panes as I did my work. If I tried to keep several of the most useful open at once, I found the pane size to be rather limited. So, I grabbed a panel and dragged it out of the working window, it now floated free, cool but this did not do me much good since I have my DreamWeaver code window maximized to full screen so there was nowhere to put the floating panel, until I dragged to my second monitor. NOW, I had something. I could put all the panels I want to work with, floating on the second monitor all opened to their maximum size. Thus, I don't have to keep opening and closing and rearranging them as I work. I think I'm going to really like this. I suspect I'll keep playing with the order and placement until I get something I really like. It's going to take a bit getting used to looking at the second monitor and moving the mouse over there when I want to interact with a panel. But I think that is going to be an acceptable trade off for me to not have to be constantly fussing with the opening, closing and resizing of panels. Thanks for listening to my gloating, but I thought I my find a more appreciative audience here then my co-workers since there are only two web-developers in our IS department and the other one left for the day already.
