I agree fully with Friedrich Heubler's sentiment about the new arrangement.
Stata 7 windowing works well for me, but having Review and Variables always
on top interferes when opening Viewer or Data Editor. Perhaps Stata could
provide a settings option for those of us who feel this way ?

>
> I use Stata 8 in Windows 98 with 1024 by 768 resolution. My Stata
> windows are arranged following the standard pattern: left Review and
> Variables, right Results and Command. The Results and Command windows
> cover a width of about 75% of the screen, the remaining 25% are
> covered by Review and Variables.
>
> When I call one of the dialogs from the Graphics menu (say,
> Histogram) I cannot see the whole dialog box because only the part
> hovering above the Results and Command windows is visible. Either the
> left part is covered by the Review and Variables windows (because
> they are always on top) or the right part is outside the screen. I
> use long variable labels and do not want to reduce the width of the
> Variables window.
>
> Compared to Stata 7 there is also less space for the Data Browser,
> Graph, and other windows. Maximizing the main Stata window to hide
> Review and Variables is not a solution because I don't always want to
> realign the right border of the Browser or other windows.

> I read Alan Riley's explanation of the new window arrangement but I
