Interface layout question

[Sprony]

The userguide states the following:

Quote

DarkRadiant ships with a number of different user interface layouts, which control the position, visibility and window type of the major interface elements. The current layout can be changed from the View → Window Layout menu, and will require DarkRadiant to be restarted.

However, I don't see that option:

I just want to set up the interface just like the original Doom 3 editor (camera top right corner, textures below that, editing field to the left, etc).

I was confused by this as well when I first started learning DR, the user guide is now slightly out of date. Dark Radiant now uses a modular system that you can freely rearrange and add elements to as you see fit. In your screenshot you can see the buttons to add new cameras and orthoviews, which you can move or resize like a browser window. You can do the same with the UI that contains things like the media and entities tab and even drag them out into their own separate UI element if need be. With a little tweaking you should be able to approximate the Doom 3 editor layout by hand. Hope this helps!

It certainly does, thank you!

With that nickname you have to be Dutch and then I saw Amster en toen wist ik het zeker

Thanks, very helpful.

Is there a way to reset the interface to the default because I kind of mess it up now.

Maybe removing the user.xml in AppData\Roaming\DarkRadiant . Not sure.

I suggest preferring the online user guide, either via the Help -> User Guide (Online) menu option, or just visiting http://orbweaver.gitlab.io/darkradiant directly. The online user guide is updated more frequently than the local user guide, which by its nature cannot be changed except via a new DarkRadiant release.
