Toolbox Windows Functionality

Are there any plans to making it more functional?  

Currently in all of my Windows environments I cannot:

  1. Move the Toolbox (using a mouse or keyboard commands).

  2. Minimize the Toolbox.

  3. Have any application display over the Toolbox (including jetbrains tasks I've opened).

This means that in order to use the Toolbox, I have to open the Toolbox and let it update everything it needs to update. In the interim, there is no way to background it, so I have this giant box covering my web browers/JetBrains tools, blocking me from actually using it. Then, once it's done updating, I have to open whatever tool/project I want, then click the gear & the scroll down and click "Close Toolbox".  But really, I don't want to close Toolbox, I might need to open another project but this is the only way (I have found so far). If it weren't so dang useful for getting updates I wouldn't use this tool at all on Windows.

As an aside, all of my Linux environments do not have this issue. The tool box has the minimize and close buttons at the top, is movable, and will not force itself in front of any other windows I have focus on.

After rereading this post, I realized it is somewhat negative. I also want to say I really do enjoy your suite of projects (including the Toolbox!).  These are just some nagging frustrations I have with the tool.

I have a very large monitor.  Forcing the Toolbox window to stay stuck in the bottom right hand corner is really annoying.  Please make the window movable.
