    There does not appear to be any way to dock the GUI of an FX or Instrument. Perhaps they can be docked to an additional panel in the Inspector.

    They are the only floating windows that cannot be docked in Podium at the moment. Sometimes floating windows can get in the way and would be best left docked when working on an arrangment.

    Why not…

    An “always on top” would also be useful when a plugin is on a second monitor.
    On the main screen they are always on the top of the arrangement or the browser, but on the second one (at least when not in full screen ?), each window goes to the first plan when clicked.
    For the plugins it is rather annoying…
    Or is there already a trick ?

    Yes the idea is simply to have them visible but not floating on top all the time. As for tricks for second monitor usage I guess Frits can say yay or nay on that one. 😉 as I do not use two monitors at this time.

    Perhaps that at some point we will have a docking zone at the bottom where we could dock what we want ?

    Reaper does this actually very well (sorry…).
    You can have the Media Explorer, the Plugins Explorer, the Mixer, a Navigator, the Routing Matrix, and all the plugins that you want to be there, all accessible with tabs.
    All can be docked / float easily like in Acid / Vegas.
    Very simple and very useful !

    But I suppose that it would need a completely different approach of the windows handling.

    Yes I think Reaper has tabs at the bottom. That is a good idea. 😉
