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.

Thanks for the options! I will think about which one would serve best my
goals.
