3WDevolution question

[prothero at earthlearningsolutions.org]

Frankly, I would prefer the ide tools palette and the Devo tools palette overlap at will. One or the other can be in front, overlapped or not.  I generally only use the ide tools when creating UI objects, so most of the time it’s invisible.

Currently, to get the Devo palette to go as far left as I want, I just drag the IDE tools palette to center screen, then back. 

Best,
Bill
