I would have wished to have "open designer" in Top Menu even otherwise since it is very frequently clicked at.

Click to expand... As a B4X programmer, you come to appreciate and value efficiency and effectiveness over tradition. IOW, nobody should care about "standard UX in Windows" if it in any way hampers app dev. However, you could put an "Open Designer" button on the button bar. That at least prevents one from 1) having to select a tab that has code that loads a layout, and 2) scrolling to the top. A single-click button bar would do the trick nicely. Just my two cents. ?
