Minimizing parts of the Godot Engine UI

[AntonioNoack]

Describe the project you are working on

I am working on a racing game, but that's unrelated.

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

In the UI, all sections (Scene/Import, Code Editor, Output Console, File System) have a minimum width and height of about 200-250px. On a 1080p screen the console uses 25% of my screen real-estate (height, when coding, is most important), even if it's empty. And I cannot hide it by just making it smaller.

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

Allow sections to be smaller than 250px; maybe 20px, so they can be quickly collapsed

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

Somewhere in Godot, there is this limitation coded. I just would change it to something lower.

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

No, it's Godots UI. Maybe there is a setting somewhere, but I haven't found it yet.

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

It's the base UI. This probably has to be changed in Godots core.

If you want to hide the Output panel, then you can just click on its title on the bottom panel.
