Yes. I am really talking about two screens -- schematics on the left screen, layout on the right. Even if I exclusively do schematic capture, a multi window GUI is pleasant. I usually have the schematics window maximized on the left and let the right screen display the rest like the library window, ore the log window. > For example, if you use firefox for Firefox style would be ok, though.

The time to build the respective tab significantly added to the "drag" while working with it. We ended up printing the schematics on paper and use this as a second screen. ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak http://lilalaser.de/blog _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
