Tile windows.Proposal

I think the way Bookmap is currently proposing to setup 2 or more windows isn't handy. I attached the picture with 2 windows placed on my 24" monitor. As you you can see the heatmap which is the main component occupies very small space, it's hard to see anything there. Imagine if I'd like to monitor 3-4 instruments, I won't see anything. Of course I could place several bookmap windows on several monitors, but I have another tools running on my other monitors simultaneously, so for bookmap I usually allocate 1 monitor.
Instead, I'd suggest you consider alternative version of UI design organized in a tile mode. I have skatched a prototype. Please find it attached. It's pretty simple when you click on a tile the context for right/left panels is changed. Also you can enlarge a heatmap with particular instrument just by clicking right(or any other hotkey) button, same click revert it back to the previous position.
