Feature Request: Better screen layout

one thing i do to take advantage of the extra horizontal space, at least while experimenting with effects, mike positions, etc, is to pop out smaller windows and place them next to the main window.  this way one can see a lot of extra stuff at the same time. 

nevertheless, i definitely would like to see a "landscape mode" optional layout for the main window.  this way i could make the fonts a lot bigger.  it would be much better for my bad eyes and the small screen on the laptop connected to my keyboard.

I agree with EvilDragon. Pianoteq and its functionality is or can be compact when necessary, and expansively laid out when wanted.

I regularly drag the presets window away from the main window (the area that allows the window to be dragged and detached from the main window appears when one positions the mouse close to the top edge of the subwindow) to quickly choose between different presets, and detach and move the Effects, Equalizer, and Sound Recording windows, as well as the Options window to monitor performance indications or MIDI messages, so that all of those windows are visible as I use Pianoteq.

It is precisely because Pianoteq’s main window does not occupy so much horizontal or vertical space that this is all possible even on just one monitor.

I was about to say the square format is fine - multiple of instances of stand alone PTQ fits nicely on a rectangular screen as they would if hosted within a DAW.  Mr. Ed said it first.

the pop-outs in the pix look great.  those are awesome layouts.  that is exactly what i do at times, especially when rendering and experimenting, and certainly i would never ask that this feature be removed. 

however, when i'm playing at the keyboard, with my (admittedly small) laptop that's dedicated to the task, i don't have multiple large screens available to me.  i would love to have the default window (in standard, i don't have stage) able to be laid out in a landscape format so that i can make the font as large as possible. 

another possibility would be to be able to pop out/tear off the "Output" half of the screen (including the keyboard) to move it over to the side.  this would make a diy landscape arrangement possible. 

either of these would help my (terrible) eyes.  but of course i'd rather that developer time be spent improving models, etc., instead of this.

I’d like to see a last opened windows positions remembered feature implemented, if it is possible!

Pianoteq launches relatively quickly.  However, if you always opt for customized windows whenever you launch, as I do, your having to manually rearrange or reposition them after each launch appears slow and unnecessarily tedious.  It is counterproductive and counterintuitive to me as it seems to negate fast launch times altogether, or readily available and viewable areas overall at each software start.
