I am currently exploring to add a feature to LAMMPS-GUI where you would have a “combined window” instead of the current individual windows. This is in response to the observation that people use multi-window applications now differently, possibly triggered by the wide adoption of VSCode.
There are some deliberate restrictions (due to technical choices and personal preferences), but at this point there is still room for changes, if they are well motivated. There are also some details not yet adapted to the new scheme. You can read more at: Optional combined main window with docked output views by akohlmey · Pull Request #94 · akohlmey/lammps-gui · GitHub
Comments are welcome, either here or on the pull request page.
Below is a screenshot for illustration.
Thanks in advance for helping out,
Axel.

There are now updated packages (v3.0.94) available at LAMMPS Testing Download Repository: .
Apart form many little improvements and corrections they have a new “comand prompt” window
and support for an upcoming addition to dump image to render objects with a “metallic material” effect.

Last chance for any feedback or requests for changes on this subject.
I have resolved pretty much all of the issues that bothered me and am close to merging this feature. I have continuously updated the testing packages at LAMMPS Testing Download Repository: .
The latest added “gimmick” is a “Command Prompt” window where you can issue shell commands, e.g. run LAMMPS in parallel or run python scripts or list files etc. It also has a few “internal” commands, e.g. “edit in.lj” will open the file in.lj in the editor window, or “open myimage.png” will open an image in the slidewhow viewer or “plot ev.yaml” will import the yaml file for creating a line chart.
