It should open up as a "window within a window". In other words, your
main form should be a big blank window, with your child forms completely
enclosed within that main form.

For an app to be cross-platform doesn't mean that it looks identical on
each platform; what it means is that the app behaves the way a user of that
platform would expect. I'm not sure what the effect you want is designed to
accomplish, but you can always position a form in its afterInitAll() method:
self.Position = (200, 120)
Another option if you really need a series of forms in the same place
one after the other is to use a wizard by subclassing the Wizard class in
ui/dialogs/Wizard.py.
