Select layout for your IDE
The Welkin Suite strives to make your working process as much convenient and efficient as possible. One of the ways to archive this is creating the most efficient and handy layout of the IDE. Having all the necessary toolbars and panels right at hand and the ability to review all important data at a glance is an indispensable condition for productive work.
Therefore in The Welkin Suite, you're able to select the layout of the IDE that feets your needs in the best way. This option helps you to save time and concentrate on reaching your goals.
The ability to select the necessary layout appears only once after the first installation of the IDE or after the update of the IDE.
