Hi Brian,

Yes - because separating them would cause problems for people on smaller screens, the separated UI would be larger than their screen and force a scroll bar to appear.

Sorry I wasn't clear - the hard part is not just doing it, the hard part would be avoiding the bad consequences and negative side effects from doing it.

So to do it properly would really need a kind of customization mechanism, like making it so you could grab a tab and drag it around to place it where you wanted.

Then there would be a default setup the same as the current one that worked well across many different sized screens, but if someone had a larger screen like you do, then they could more easily change the UI to suit it.

But that will require a lot of work to make that kind of system, I don't think that I will be able to get to that anytime too soon.
