I would like to see multiple containers and all widgets dockable. So you can arrange everything you want to see the way you want to see it.

Why is it that the screen layout changes when the major power changes in solo play?

p.s.: why is it so hard to do a proper gui? any modern sdk should provide anything you need in a couple of clicks. should be doable without impacting game code.

This game was designed to be compatible with Windows 95 over 200 moons ago. Original programmer quit, new programmer took another 8 years to wrangle a vaguely supported SDK into working.

Honestly, in retrospect, starting over, and stealing chunks of CWIF would have been easier perhaps.

Thankfully, Steve isn't quitting, and is working to get everything working. Prioritization and bug squashing will be more productive with a real audience hounding his heels, rather than beta testers at this point.

I am aware of the history of this software. I think the excuse you are trying to make is neither required nor valid.

I suppose you could refrain from asking for things on the forum, and posting questions as well, particularly considering how well informed you are.

That would be stupendously effective.
