Resize Xcode window on Mac OS

Question

I am a new mac user and I would like to know if you that use Xcode are able to resize the UI window as you like. On my macbook pro retina Xcode window has a width of minimum 60% of the screen. I cannot shrink it further than this. It is strange since there is a lot of unused window space(about 40% of the Xcode window).

I am using Spectacle app that allows me to split the screen. I know that I can switch between desktops but I like to have the documentation always visible.

It also happens in iTunes, but I don't care. The important thing is to have a good programming environment.

Please can you tell me if there is any solution? In both windows and linux GUI I never experienced a fixed minimum size such annoying... But 60% hardcoded is just too much.

Answer 1

The minimum window width is due to the Xcode toolbar. If you disable the toolbar you can have a slimmer window, but then you don't have a toolbar :(

to hide the toolbar you can right-click it and select "hide toolbar".
