This will accommodate up to three windows opened side-by-side. In addition to the sidebar and editor pane, the interface has three other areas as well as a menu bar. The status bar for information on the currently open project is positioned under the edit window, the activity bar of icons for switching between views is found to the left of the sidebar, and the pane for debug information, errors, etc. is conveniently beneath the status bar. The sidebar and debugging panel can be resized to provide a larger editing window(s).
