Yep, docking un docking would be good.
Another thing I have been thinking about is the Infoline. After studying several design documents on user interface and experience, I have come to the conclusion that the infoline is badly designed. This is backed up by the continuous requirement to remind and educate new users to it's use. To summarise the design flaw, the Infoline is not where the user is looking since the user will be looking at what is within a 5px radius of their mouse. This is why tooltips in most programs, commonly appear beneath the cursor, because that is where the user is looking.
So what we have so far is:
It would really simplify matters is the additional viewports were only for viewing, but this could cause a major reduction in workflow possibilities.

So what we have so far is:
- Per project and per window settings + global default
- Docking
- Remove duplication/Cleaner interface
