"Pop-out" options for Address Book and Today Pane

[spiperman2]

Hi - I'm enjoying TB 102.2.2. (Linux) Everything (so far) has been working great.  Well done.

I would like to make a suggestion about having some flexibility in the UI to pop-out some key features - similar to what happens with Activity Manager.  I have a lot of screen real estate - 5120 X 1440.  It would be nice to be able to pop-out the today pane and the address book. I use both of these in many workflows besides email. Having them bound to the main window is inconvenient (but clearly workable as I've been doing for years).

I noticed that Activity Manager is showing in it's own window - and if the main TB application is minimized, activity manager remains unchanged.  This is basically the window functionality I'd like the pop-outs to have.

Just an idea - thanks for everything!!

For the Adress Book, there is a workaround: you can right-click on the Adress Book Tab and select "open in a new window" (it will also open the Mail Tab, but that's unavoidable).

However, I would be interested not just having the Today Pane pop-up, but perhaps also having the option to Pin it on top of all other applications. I'm not sure if it would be useful (I'm not even sure I would use it myself), but it's still something to consider...
