My own GUI arrangement for GRASS work was on two monitors (same size, same DPI). The first monitor with the two smaller GRASS windows plus non-GRASS windows of the project was in in horizontal orientation. The second monitor with the GRASS map display was in vertical orientation to fit the region of interest. And I was running out of screen space all the time, so if this was a commercial project, there would be at least one more monitor to provide more space for the multiple independent windows. Clearly, for a single window UI it would not make as much sense. One other interesting arrangement is a more or less ordinary monitor to display some GUI in normal usable size plus another "high DPI" monitor to display some other GUI that needs to show as many physical pixels at once as possible. Of course, neither the physical size nor the pixel count match between the monitors, so when a window spans more than one monitor it becomes difficult to use. Finally, GIMP has been using multiple window UI for many years, and the users figure the GUI out just fine. So a multiple window GUI makes a sound use case and it would be nice to keep it reasonably accessible. -- Denis Ovsienko _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
