The only movement that got me hung up was taking the very top standalone tab (Fnts 100), going to move it, and then trying to return it to the top as a standalone tab. The way I discovered to do it was a series of additional moves.

Obviously this is very slick and looks great, though.

Looks very good, one issue though:

After maximising, I expected the "restore" like icon to get back to the state I was previously, but it seemed to pop-out instead which was very unexpected.

It seems I should have chosen "minimize" looking icon instead, which doesn't minimize but instead puts back to tiled size.

Also, when closing a pop-out I would expect it to re-integrate rather than closing completely, but perhaps I'm unusual in my expectations.

We found this a few months ago. It was perfect for the application we were looking to build. I had to invert his recommended process for mixing it with Angular, allowing Angular to bootstrap naturally, then initializing GL. If you go that route, you just have to manually wire the window resize to resize GL.

Cheers. It's true, there is no "minimizing" as such, it's just a toggle between maximised and original state.

Similarly the close icon does close a popout window, popping it back in can be done via the button in the bottom right
