Hi guys,
Is there any way to have the buttons mentioned in the title on the right (as per picture), just like in Microsoft applications?
Thanks

Re: GUI issue with ''detach / minimize / resize / close wsp'
Very almost like this. How about that? Is it achievable?
The idea is to have (i) the main ''word'' menu on the left, (ii) icons in the middle and (iii) minimize / close on the right.

I would also replace / get rid of the icon left to the ''word'' menu for reasons explained in the picture.

yup... just drag all the tool bars behind the main menu.
Re: GUI issue with ''detach / minimize / resize / close wsp'
Tried this several times. It is impossible to drag the icon toolbars directly behind the main menu. One can ony drag the icon toolbars behind ''minimize / detach / resize / close'' buttonsyup... just drag all the tool bars behind the main menu.

MC engineers,
Please have a look at the picture and make MC more Microsotf GUIsh, i.e.:
Main Menu on the left ..................... Icons in the middle ...................... Close on the right
Thanks

Re: GUI issue with ''detach / minimize / resize / close wsp'
I know if you follow this image you can add separators where needed.
I have not tried it once separated, but maybe then you can move around where needed.
see image attached.
edit: just tried it no good

Re: GUI issue with ''detach / minimize / resize / close wsp'
No, It can't be done in MC the way you described - the main menu is not listed on ''Customize'' list therefore you cannot put a separator behind it.I know if you follow this image you can add separators where needed.
Also ''det/min/res/close'' buttons are not on ''Customize'' list - you cannot put a separator before it.

Re: GUI issue with ''detach / minimize / resize / close wsp'
Hi Tresor,
I had the same questions in the past with Marina:

The detach, minimize, maximize, close buttons are part of the Menu. If you drag a toolbar on to the menu area, the buttons will be placed in front of this toolbar because no objects are allowed to separate items of the Menu. This is a standard behavior for applications.
Re: GUI issue with ''detach / minimize / resize / close wsp'
Thanks RobotMan,I had the same questions in the past with Marina
Marina did not solve the problem. And I know now I am not the only one annoyed.
These ''detach / minimize / resize / close'' buttons in the middle are as annoying as a mosquito that starts to fly over your ear, just when you're trying to get asleep. You don't whether it is better to (i) fall asleep and risk a bite or (ii) get up, light the lamp and kill the beast, risking you'll need another hour to get into a sleeping mode.
Anytime I close my workspace accidentally or close MC instead of only a chart because ''detach / minimize / resize / close'' buttons are not placed ergonomically on the right I don't know whether (i) to slap myself or (ii) to throw the computer through the window.
This issue should be resolved by MC engineers finally (before my face turns red permanently).

I believe it is the Windows platform standard.Thanks RobotMan,I had the same questions in the past with Marina

It is not something that can be changed by the developer of an application.
Re: GUI issue with ''detach / minimize / resize / close wsp'
I talked to a number of programmers. They say the developer of MC might have used incorrect GUI controls / widgets and this results in the problem.I believe it is the Windows platform standard.

The current behaviour of MC (GUI) can be changed by MC programmers.
