Dabo doesn't have a UI designer (yet), so we are left to laying out our pages and forms in code which isn't necessarily that difficult but can sure be tedious.

Laying out ui controls is best done using nested sizers, where each sizer knows how to lay out the items it controls.

But it can get really tedious putting together the code for your sizers and then understanding what exactly is going wrong while developing your forms and having things not lay out how you expected.

There has long been a feature in Dabo's sizers that will draw outlines showing you visually, at runtime, the border of each sizer, which is just the ticket. I've added a new tutorial to dabodemo/tutorial showing you how to use this cool feature.
