It's not a quick thing to do that in BOA. You need new sizers. At the moment I'm 
short of time, but I think this would be a good practice to get into BOA Designer :)

Waiting for your interface to logging

I agree

For you, Ok.

I give you now "my agreement" to change the code whatever you tink it's 
worth/needed to change. I think you have further plans with the IDE. I see my 
contribution in  the projectmanagement and some basic BOA stuff, and hope my 
work is useful for the future of the IDE.

If you find further complaints feel free to post them.

Best greetings
