Embarcadero Delphi Xe5 Ide一分为二

Question

Hi guys i have just installed Mydac into my delphi xe5 Ide and when i started it up afterwards the entire IDE Changed. It has split in two in basic terms it looks alot like delphi 7 now.

When i compile the app i am working on. The IDE returns to what it normally looks like. But on application close it reverts back to two individual parts.

I have checked the tool palette, and all items usually in the IDE (they did no longer show) i can add them to the below form.(the form with my units and code).

Everything is normal except for how it looks. It is hard to describe but basically the entire code editor and all tools linked to it has separated. And the main menu bar now also has a tool palette (looks like D7 basically)

Anybody Know the cause for this?

Update: The image below shows how the ide opens now.with the answer below i can change the ide back to normal. But i cannot keep the changes if i restart Delphi. how can i make the changes permanent?

Under the View menu, you will see an option named "Dock Edit Window".

This is enabled by default. I think you have unintentionally turned it off. Enable it again, and your display should go back to what you're used to.

Dock Edit Window

The old school component palette is a different matter. Under View|Toolbars, see if you have Component selected. I'm not sure when this was reintroduced since I don't use this any more.

Enabling the Component Toolbar

I'm not so sure about the docking, but to make sure the rest of the desktop settings are preserved between sessions, go to Tools|Options|Environment Options and make sure Project Desktop is selected under Autosave Options.
