It would be really handy to be able to move the panels around and dock in different places. For instance I would prefer to have the bottom panel next to the right panel (or the left). I have a wide format monitor and I have room to put all of my panels on the sides, leaving room for a full height editor space.
I realize that multi-window, multi-monitor configurations is not easy on a web-based editor, but panel docking options would help productivity a lot.

I 100% agree here, it would be even nicer if the bottom panel could be a pop-out and moved outside of the UI designer.
AAAH yes yes yes!! I would pay for this!!! In the meantime, try a vertical screen @bradlymathews , works wonders.
@minijohn I use a 38" curved widescreen at 3480x1600 for my primary display and my only complaint is I need another 600px in height to get the most out of the Retool interface. But just last week I upgraded my side monitor to a 27", 2560x1440 and which also rotates. So I tried it out for a bit. Doesn't work for me. Even with the two side bars closed I only get a 1440px width rather than the 1920px I target. But with either or both side bars open I just can't do it. The massive bottom panel is awesome though!
If I am not duplicating how you have it set up mind sending a screenshot?
Wow, nice setup @bradlymathews, wanted to try out a curved monitor for a while now but haven't gotten myself to really commit yet.
I'm mostly running it at 90% zoom (on the browser, not retool) and you get close to 1600px real-width. Small improvement towards your target :)) , but it makes a diff for me..
Sure, here you go (2 x 27")
If I were younger with better eyesight changing zoom levels might a good solution. As it is I am usually increasing font size!
Nice audio setup! I upgraded to some Edifier R1850 powered bookshelf speakers during last year's Prime Day, but you look like you have a nice reference setup. I'd reciprocate with a pic, but my desk is a bloody mess.
I could go down to 80% some moons ago but either my eyesight is "adjusting" to my age or retool's components are smaller in general.
My desk is never that clean, pushed everything behind the monitors...
Got the MR624's a couple of years ago, love them so far.. Looking for acoustic wall panels and a third monitor now.

Hey folks! Just want to mention the IDE redesign beta in this thread for anyone who may have missed the announcement. It offers a number of new option for how you can manage your panels and hopefully it eases some of the difficulties yall have expressed here!
