I'm just starting to play around with MonoDevelop on my Linux Mint system. (Version is 2.6, which is a bit old, but it's what is in the repositories).
I have two wide-screen monitors, and I've not been able to configure MonoDevelop to use my normal development layout.
What I normally do, with VS and Windows7, is to have the main window contain the source code, taking up the right half of the left monitor. I have a second window containing the error and the output views taking up the left half of the right monitor.
When I go into debug, I have the running programs window take up the left half of the right window, with a third window containing the debug views taking up the right half of the right window.
The left half of the left window is either empty, or contains a web-browser showing Stack OVerflow.
My problem with MonoDevelop is that while I can drag the pads out of the main window, I've not been able to dock them together. I can move them to the other monitor, but when I do each is a separate window. I can't dock them together, the way I'm used to in Visual Studio.
Is this something that MonoDevelop cannot do? Or is it simply that I've not figured out how to?
It's not possible. You can dock multiple pads as tabs of a single floating window, but you cannot dock multiple pads as different split parts of single floating window.

When I go to the package configuration wizard the configuration filter dialog box is cutoff, has anyone solved this?
Resizing window just kept that dialog box cut off
I can resize just fine using the lower right corner sash to change the window.
An alternative that always works with windows forms is the Tab key as that'll navigate you to the items, even if they're offscreen.
At one point, VS seemed to have rendering issues with the adjust visual experience checkbox and the consensus a decade back was to uncheck that if it was acting "weird." It's been some time since I've had to fiddle with that setting though so the issue seems to have been resolved.
That's VS 2017 in my screenshots. The corner sash exists on VS 2015 as well. Beyond that, I'd need to go to archives or install current VS editions to explore. As to simulating the drop down arrow selector, holding left Alt key down and hitting the down arrow brings up those selectors.
I think I managed to navigate the entire sequence of adding a configuration without using a mouse in my little video here (although I tried really hard at the end).
Anyone know if you can position the inspection icons/totals (the yellow warning triangles and the spellchecker) that are normally in the top right on the left instead?
Also, is there a way to increase the size of them?
(Reason: I use a wide-ish monitor. I struggle to make a habit of looking at them because my eyes have to move all the way across to the edge of the screen to do so. If they were on the left, they'd be in my eyeline a lot more. I tried moving the Project window to the right, with the editor on the left. That didn't really help…)
You cannot move it. You can only make it smaller (so it only shows a coloured square: like it was back in 2020.2 and older versions: see https://stackoverflow.com/a/64756369/783119 for that).
Try Problems tool window -- it should list all found issues in a file as a list and you can place it on the left to your editor (instead of the default bottom).
I believe that I successfully installed MySQL from the web, but my sql web layout is very different from the normal layout as it has no object browser, also home page too seem different. In addition I have WAMP server installed on my laptop, is this the reason? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I am attaching pictures of both the pages.
Look at the sidebar, specifically the headings. Near MANAGEMENT there's a little button. This is to switch between combined (stacked) and tabbed mode for this sidebar. At the moment the stacked mode is active by default and you cannot see the schema part because it is hidden behind the Information pane. There's a splitter between the 2 parts, so you can make the Information pane smaller, but I think you are better off by switching to tabbed mode, as this makes working there a lot simpler.
In a SQL Server Integration Services project, the designer view has created a large amount of unused space above the space I'm actually using. Notice the size of the right scrollbar in the following zoomed out view.
When starting the project, the designer's view always starts in the upper left corner, meaning I have to scroll to the bottom to see any of my work. Is there any way to clip the designer's working space to what I'm actually using? I've verified there is absolutely nothing above the containers here.
Click on the Fit to Window view (the square-ish box at the bottom of the slider). Then select all your tasks. Drag all of them together to the left-top corner. After sometime, enlarge the view to 100% (the dark line on the slider). Do it couple times till you have what you want.
Format -> Auto Layout -> Diagram
This will Auto size your boxes and bring them back to top left. Doing it manually is annoying and almost impossible.
Select all controls and cut it. Click Fit View on Windows bottom right corner. It will resize. Then paste your control back.
Gallery control gives a good UI in Android os. I want to achieve the same performance in wp8. I find the panorama control in wp8 has almost similar performance but it always shows a 20 pixel on the right side. Also, the pivot control will show a black screen when slipping the UI without showing anything but the background image.
So I want to combine the ability of the two controls in wp8 to achieve the same performance of gallery control.
first, when slipping the UI, the right screen will show immediately to give user a continuous view.
second, I do not want to show the 20 pixel on the right screen.
So, can anyone tell me how to achieve it. Thanks very much.
Just a thought, don't have time to test it at the moment, but would it work in the panorama control if you gave the left side of the PanoramaItem a margin of 20, and perhaps the right side a -20?
