Re: wxGlade GUI improvement

The wx.SP_LIVE_UPDATE style works well !!

I couldn't find any other sash style that wasn't very thin, except for
the 3DSASH.  I think having the ugly sash is better than a thin sash
(which is not obvious).

The wxPy demo has splitter windows, with thicker sash but no circle. 
Maybe that's worth looking at?  Might be just thin handle with
spacing/border around contents of panes?

The MDIWindows / `MDI with Sash Windows demo` also sahses with no circle
(might be the same as wxPy demo)?

The AUI_DockingWindowMgr (wxPy demo) is another alternative too.  It's
very flexible and the various panes/windows can be
docked/undocked/repositioned how ever the user wants.  It has the
circles in the sashes (maybe they can be removed?)

Finally, another option might be to use `wx.CollapsiblePane` instead
(see wxPy demo)?  That way you can toggle the widget tools pane in/out
of view as required (and the property pane too if desired, though I
imagine it's more useful to keep it open)
