Window Docking interface Visual Studio 2010

Question

Is there a way to disable the docking interface in visual studio 2010. I find it really annoying every time I move a window that huge cross appears and all the other things. Visually it is really distracting and a way to get rid of it would be really helpful right now.

Answer 1

Hi,

as far as my knowledge Answer is No.

Answer 2

Oh, that's a shame, perhaps it could be an idea for a later release because the process is very 'in ones face', unsightly and annoying.

Thanks though. 

 

Answer 3

Hi me oh my, have you tried setting the window to use "Floating" mode? You can do that by right-clicking the title bar of the window and selecting "Floating".

That does not show the huge cross on the screen, is this what you are looking for?

Answer 4

Hi me oh my,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

Could you please tell me if the "huge cross" is the one in the middle of the my screenshot?

In fact, it is a tool which can help you choose the dock position.

If you think this tool is unsightly and annoying, I suggest you post your idea here
