Having a rather small screen, I have started to think about the possibility to implement some kind of window presets that you quickly could change between depending on what you are doing. Have been using different software earlier that uses this feature and its really a time saver. Its not only a good thing if you have a small screen like me though, I think many players could benefit from this.

Why?
Lets say I want to have the wallet and marketwindow as maximized as possible at the same time to be able to see as many orders as possible during a warp to a station, if I dock without minimizing the windows, the station service window will pop up among the two, and cut one of them in half. It will also for som wierd reason resize to the same width as the window it cut (there are many other applications than just this one).

So if there was a way for me to save the position and size of individual windows and save them in a preset . That would be awesome. With that you get easy and fast access to your favourite windows at your favourite position, always. Best would be if it was possible to do multiple presets for different occations so you can have your trade preset, manufacturing preset and what not.

Not a bad idea. If you could save these presets as Neocom buttons for easy switching, that would be even more epic. I approve.

Are we really the only two here that can see the benefit of this? Even if you use two rather large screens, this could actually be a good timesaver and make the eve experience a little more efficient and streamlined. Not having the need to bog around with alot of windows all the time seems like a neat thing to me.

I'll vote on anything that has 'improve' and 'GUI' in the title.

Oh, I do agree on this one. It would make managing your windows so much easier.
