I've played around with docks for awhile. Here are my tentative conclusions. You can specify the desired layout of new outlines as follows: - Open some file, say x.leo, with --init-docks. - Open a new file. Set the layout as you like. - Close the new file. - Save x.leo. After this, opening Leo with --use-docks, the layout of new outlines should be as you set it above. For reasons I do not understand, floating docks seem to work only on the first outline loaded. I'm reluctant to make significant changes to the code. It's already beyond the limit of my full understanding. Please let me know if these workarounds work for you.
