Border Gutter, Temporary Guides, Resize Support

[John Thompson]

First off, thanks for the great job with FireFly 3.  It's absolutely awesome and I'm thrilled to be using it.  These are a couple of things I thought of that I think would be really neat to see in the future:

(1) The ability to add a border gutter in the visual designer... a variable number of pixels on the client area's edge of a form that would be free from controls.  This would be to give the form a more uniform feel.  So, if my leftmost, topmost control was at 5,5, and the form was 100x100, the bottommost, rightmost control would not pass 95,95.  Does that make sense?

(2) Temporary guides in the visual designer...  Horizontal and vertical lines that could be dragged onto the form where any control within 5 pixels of it would snap to it.

(3) Resize support...  The ability for FireFly to natively support the resizing of controls on a form.

Thanks!

Thanks John! You are spot on with those suggestions. Actually, the third one got dropped from FireFly during the latter stages of development (and another feature that allowed creating "Favorites" for common window style settings). I hope to get it into FireFly at some point.
