There is also a lot of demand for keeping the current interface. Therefore, I would look into using a package to provide the interface... and especially Juha's suggestion to look into merging and improving existing packages (which probably will get you a head start into the way packages work with Lazarus) together with improving the Lazarus code to properly separate the interface part from the rest.

There is demand for it; Just make sure it is optional. The suggestion of Martin Friebe to put it in packages, is still the way to go, I think. I'm sure you will get fast responses to specific questions if you decide to implement it yourself.

I planned to extract this off topic message but Martin was faster...

Even today, years have passed, and this option does not exist. I remember there was even a bug report, maybe from you. I did not understand then what the problem really was and I still don't understand. Either the designer form or the source editor is active depending on which one you clicked last. You can press F12 to change the order, too. I remember there was some difference in Z-order with GTK2 bindings when creating a new form. So, in the worst case scenario you must press F12 _once_ after creating a new form! This is a non-issue IMO. There are ~1500 open issues in Lazarus bug tracker, most of them real bugs or feature requests. This one is just non-sense. Yet, if you create code to change the Z-order behavior, I promise to apply your patch. However, if you create yet another option to the Options dialog, I would reject it. There are so many options already that finding the useful ones is difficult. No need to pollute the dialog with non-sense options. I am planning to simplify the compiler options and improve the build mode options, when I have time for it.

There is demand for it! I think you answered a wrong thread now, see my reply on the original one. And no need to work secretly. Good quality code always speaks for itself. Simply put : your code will be accepted to Lazarus codebase if it is good enough.
