Klugier - Thank you for your prompt and helpful reply.

Regarding the current default startup state of TheIDE - I did look in the settings before asking. As the saying goes "...you can't please all of the people all of the time..." Smile

There is room on the settings dialog to add another checkbox so that might be the best solution. Users can choose what they prefer.

While checking the settings tab, I noticed the option to: [] "Open main package" - creates the new theIDE instead of just changing main package
I'll try that to see if it satisfies my preference for minimizing clutter.

Searching the site, I found a video tutorial that despite poor audio, has been some help in clarifying my "beginners confusion". Maybe in a few months time, I might be inclined to attempt writing "U++ for dummies" Smile

Although that may sound like a joke, I can tell you that I spent some time hunting around and experimenting with both Glade and GTK before I found any mention of U++ in search engine responses. This may have changed since but I think promoting U++ LOUDLY might lead to an increased user base, especially in the escalating "non-Windows" community.
