SE Dialogue boxes

When SE is started each time, all the dailoge boxes on first opening get stacked all together on top of each other, consequently, this is a nuisance, as the user has to keep moving them around onscreen to avoid a cluttered look. It would be handy if these boxes had thier own set position away from each other. It would also be handy if the user could keep the box positions at a set position. Could this information be made customisable and put into config file? Then when SE is restarted each time those positions are remembered at their new positions.

Also, I think it would be good if the 'Time' controls had its own dialogue box for your next release. This would be far more useful as a visual aid, and perhaps we could have some more controls over the time function itself, such as setting a certain date and time etc.

I never open several dialog boxes at one time, and don't think it will be necessary... However, I plan making a new interface, more game-looking, with sliding panels on screen edges. Time controls will have buttons on panels too.

Could the boxes at least be kept away from each other?

Love your idea for the sliding panels, something akin to 3D studio Max's panels perhaps? Will this be in the next release?

You can manually move them in comfortable place. And I can add saving of positions of windows to config.
