#174 feature request: ability to hide/display game text window

[travelgirl]

i'm a chess instructor, and it would be nice to be able to toggle display of the game text window. ideally, it would be even better if the game text window were allowed to roam over an entire display -- i would, for example, drag the window to a second screen (my laptop) while leaving the board screen on its own on the second display (a tv, in this instance, connected via HDMI/DVI)

the way i handle it now is to make the text black (against the dark theme), and resize the text font to something tiny. this sorta works, but is not ideal.

thank you!

Excellent question - there is no good reason for not having the game text
dockable. Will be in the next release.
