[Request] Auto-Minimize Play Modes

Hey there,

I was wondering if the devs could have all windows (content browser, submenus, etc) be minimized whenever simulate or Play-In* modes are activated – and then restored when back in editing mode. Whenever I hit the simulated button after applying a material in the content browser, for example, I’d like to see how it looks in simulated mode. But first I have to move the content browser out of the way… then the Persona Editor… etc. Just really annoying. All I want is to see what I test without being bogged down by tons of UI.

There are a few things currently blocking this feature, such as sub-editors not being able to be minimized, and that in some cases it is useful and needed to watch the processes of a sub-editor while simulating or playing, for instance with Blueprints.

However, I have submitted a report for your request with the suggestion of it being a toggle option.

Thanks,
