I need to create a project that has windows docked according to the attached image, so a total of three docked windows. I’ve been able to achieve what I want if all the monitors are the exact same resolution, but I can’t seem to get it to scale up or down properly.

If I design the screens for a smaller resolution, there are gaps between the windows when the project is displayed on higher resolution monitors. If I design for the highest resolution, you have to scroll to see all the window contents on lower resolution displays. Is it even possible to do what I’m trying to do?

Thanks.

What settings have you got under the Layout properties for the window? Is the ‘Maximum Size’ larger than the ‘Size’?

Yes, maximum size is way bigger than the size.

So is this impossible?

I’m not sure, it SHOULD be. I gave it a quick try and haven’t been able to get it to work. For my current project I managed to have a main window and docked stack multiple south docked windows on the bottom which works fine.
