just a little thing, maybe for the next release:

when i go full screen the docked maxwell panels stay on screen.
would be nice if they could be hidden like the others!

thnx!!

As far as I know, this is not currently possible (I'll check with McNeel). A way to do it yourself would be to make a new button which called Fullscreen, along with Maxwell_HideSceneManager/etc, but as far as I know, you always exit from fullscreen using ESC (as opposed to using a mirror image of the Fullscreen command), so you wouldn't have any way of re-showing them when you exit fullscreen (plugin has the same problem). Of course, you can create a button that shows various plugin windows, which you would use separately, after exiting fullscreen.

i must be getting old, not thinking of this myself

it does work with "fullscreen maxwell_toggleSceneManager Maxwell_toggleDBmanager"

only the spacing of the maxwell windows (i have db manager in one column with scene manager) is not remembered when i recall the command, when i want to exit fullscreen.

Although Rhino 5 behaves somewhat better, there have always been problems with this (it is not the plugin's business).

yeah until recently toolbars were total garbage when coming back from fullscreen..

however it does work for the second "column" where i have layers above properties.
maybe McNeel can fix this...

I know it's not easy to see this, but those are a totally different type of window than the docking windows used in the plugin. I do not know if their functionality will be back-patched into the V4-style windows, or if plugins will need to re-implement things using V5-specific code to use them.
