Hi, Martin Thanks, I have tested it, in fact I prefer gird style more than a tree, for simple, light and less flicker, if I want to more info I can call Inspect for it. But I like to have another feature, "Stay on top" for debug watches dialog and Inspect Debug, because I can inspect more than variable and need to watch it changing step by step.
