i use a customized layout. for me its important to have the explorer
open all the time, so its part of the screen layout. layers are fine
too and on the second screen i can switch from rendertree till netview
through all important views that i ususally use.
a second layout replaces these views with different instances of the
script editor, to mimic the tool developement layout, but on 2
screens.
after i overcame the big learning curve of the layout editor... i
enjoy the flexibility very much!
