Debugger window visual and real estate clutter is getting more visible now. I tried to use debugger on laptop with 1024x768 res. and it's almost unusable there (see attached image). I counted that utilized space is 70% on attched dialog and the rest of 30% are toolbars, tabs, titles. These all could be avoided IMHO and space can be much better utilized. 1) toolbars should be switchable and movable (the same way as in Main Window). And all toolbars actions as well as switches for toolbars can be accessible through right click pop-up menu a also by shortcuts. Small cross for turning off some view can be next to view title too. 2) view titles can be avoided too, since they are just duplicate of the same string couple pixes next (all titles are also titles of first column in each table). These settings are mainly for advanced users, but I think they can help to work with debugger on smaller displays. I don't mean this as default setting, of course, but as customization for advanced users.
