Hey,

short question: is there a possibility to show stacked boxes/frames (one over another). Like in here. If yes, how they are supposed to be arranged in tview.Application?

Hi,

I would say your best bet is the Pages class. Its AddPage() function has a "resize" parameter which you can set to false so your box doesn't become full-screen.

You will have to set the position and size of each of your boxes yourself then. There is no function that lays out boxes automatically like you requested. I think VladimirMarkelov/clui attempts to provide a more Windows-like interface if that's what you prefer.

Let me know if this helps.
