Feature Request:Minimixe / Maximize Buttons for all modules

[AaronKent]

I've been really focusing on XSI lately. The more I use it the more I have been leaving my other longtime 3D apps and doing 90% of stuff in XSI. One small facet of alot of XSI's modules (I'm calling them modules anyways - they might have a different name - but I refer to things like the Texture Editor, Texture Manager, Shape manager, etc) is that they open in free floating windows with no minimize / maximize buttons. These work fine but I think they would "feel" better if you could launch them in a window more like the main XSI modules (model,animate,render,etc....) In a perfect world I'd like to see them available in the same kind of setup right along with model,animate, render - with each modules respective controls on the tool bar . . . .

To "Minimixe / Maximize" these windows, have you tried double clicking on the top bar. It's not exactly like "Minimixe / Maximize" but it could help.

And have you tried creating your own layout? I can't work without my own custom layout!

Yep, the double click is fine for all property pages windows etc. . . .but for a couple of what I feel are major tasks - i.e. UVing, shape creation, etc, I'd like a more sturdy interface. It feels kinda petty to request this stuff but I really am a believer in the "feel" of an interface. All these modules I mention work great floating - it isn't a functionality issue, it's more of a perception. Like there is this undefinable "something" maybe working confidence or weight that you can create with a couple extra pixels some bevel and color modulation around the edge of a window.. . . it's weird I've worked on computers many years and depending on the kind of window or program I'm running the type of window that opens will occasionally even fire up some long ago residule "oh man, the computers about to hang feeling. . . . " anyways, just ranting at this point.
