Hi McNeelies,
I find these container “grip dots” quite visually distracting/bloaty compared to the minimal Rhino 7 GUI. Would it be possible to hide them when “Locked Docked Containers” is turned on? Alternatively, turn them off entirely?
Rhino 8 BETA:
Rhino 7:
Best,

Next regression.
Yes, the grips have to hide when containers are locked.
you can sort of turn them off by tweaking this color:
Rhino.UI.ThemeSettings.Frame.GripperDot
That does help a bit with the visual distraction, but the added padding is still there. In Rhino 7 the gripper padding goes away when Lock Docked Windows is turned on:
Lock Docked Windows = Off:
Lock Docked Windows = On:
While in Rhino 8 the grips/padding remains in docked mode:
I much prefer the minimal/no wasted pixel look of docked Rhino 7. It would be great to have Rhino 8 look/behave the same.
I also would very much like bith padding and dots to disappear when Lock Docked containers option is enabled, it’s SUPER distracting 
Casually bumping this one too.
I misinterpreted the request and added an advanced option that may work for now. This setting may change in the future, but give it a try for now to see how you like it.
Rhino.Options.TabPanels.MouseOverGrippers
Changing this will hide the grippers at all times unless the mouse passes over them.
Cheers Steve. Just gave it a quick go and this new settings appears to hide the four dots, but not the actual gripper box/area/padding. Where in Rhino 7 the whole things disappears when “Lock Docked Windows” is enabled:
If it’s not possible to get the less bloated Rhino 7 behaviour back, perhaps making the gripper box as narrow as the old one would at least make the issue less. Also, as apparent from the video this feels like it might be (at least technically) related to this regression:
Moved over to Rhino category
