Screens these days are big. (My monitor is currently set at 2560x1440 but goes up to 5120x2880)

Please provide an option to use the room editor without a tabbed view. So the contents of all four tabs would be arranged as separate palettes (or sections) around the editing area. Much better use of screen space. :)

Huh. The game would have to support different resolutions first, so I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon and easily :(.

If/when we get that SDL2 port done, it should probably be much easier.

I'd settle for windowless mode. Borderless Gaming has been acting weird lately.

Perhaps playing at higher resolutions wouldn't require too much work: just allow a pixel-doubling mode. Can certainly see the editor requiring more work.

A way to get this without changing resolution of the main window would be to have a second window with all the editor items in it. Wouldn't be any use for fullscreen though...
