Feature

Since we can dock the Solver UI in a horizontal location, the default UI layout does not work (see "actual behavior" below). We would like to allow users to configure the Solver UI into a few different presets.

Following on from #197, I propose we add presets such as "Vertical", or "Horizontal". Another idea was to have presets like "Normal", "Minimal", or "Advanced".

Unfortunately I believe it's not possible (without re-writing the entire Solver UI) to provide the ability to drag/drop different UI elements to anywhere in Maya.

Expected behavior:
When docking the Solver UI in a horizontal position, we should be able to have the Solver Options on the left-hand side of the UI, and objects on the right:

Actual behavior:
When docking the Solver UI, this is the current result:

This is very awkward to use.
