Maybe you should ask why am I running the datapads this way, instead of stating its unhelpful?
Every-time I reload the IDE I spend a chunk of time readjusting the layouts inside various datapads trying to get something that I can work with, the IDE doesnt remember the layouts of a datapad after its been changed and the IDE reloaded.
I cant find a font that works in the IDE that I like, the colours like the grey in the text editor makes the text harder to see, I can not have the monitors on maximum brightness because my retinas literally ache and eyes constantly stream Opticians cant find anything wrong though! I’ve even wasted money on glasses with the best blue tints to reduce glare etc and thats a con. Ever since I was kid and parents got their first (cathode ray tube) colour tv, watching TV has made my eyes hurt, its one of the reasons why before I got done over by criminals, I had a big Sony projection TV, which is like watching a cinema screen. A room with LED lighting burns my skin and burns my eyes and makes them stream, I can even see the flicker of LED’s in some situations! So I dont really watch TV if I can help it. Even smart phone’s now burn my eyes so its one of the reasons why I dont have a mobile. But the opticians cant find anything wrong with them.
There are too many buttons in the toolbars, the icons are nothing like the C6 icons, so when Steve Parker said in one of the ngs around the time of the icon make over in C6, where he said bring back the blue fart, yeah I understand what he means now, and they blend into the background, the Esc key doesnt work in parts of the IDE. The C6 IDE is very optimised, in that generally you only have the buttons you need for that part of the IDE. I’m not saying the C6 IDE is perfect, but the C7+ IDE is information overload imo.
I just really do not like this new IDE and despite going through loads of settings, I just cant get it setup anyway I like, so if it became an issue when I cant run C6 anymore and use the C7+ IDE command line, thats when I’ll pack it in and walk away and learn about write offs or something.
