I've begun working with using Lazarus to make some simple utilities for my own use on Ubuntu 9.10. I know many people like the modular Delphi 7 layout, but I hate it. I find it annoying and disruptive. I dislike using Gimp for the same reason.

I'd also prefer to have the Delphi 2007 palette menu. Is this possible within the latest version of Lazarus (v0.9.28.x) ?

How can I configure Lazarus to look like, or behave like, Delphi 2007/9/10?

I'm not sure that you can make it look like the newer Delphi IDEs.

I've used it in the past and I think that the D7 look is the only available option.

You could always edit the source and change it.

It's open source, you can code it...

or test it. Start with the drag and drop stuff Dodi is working on.

+2  A: 

There is no option to have the palette menu like Delphi 2007 in Lazarus. I think there is also a reason for this: the Lazarus developers are mostly 'hard core, oldschool' Delphi programmers, and this kind of programmers seems to prefer the Delphi 7 tools menu.

While partially true, I think the bigger problem is that it also isn't exactly non-trivial to implement such a thing crossplatform.
