No, but you can use SpringLobby.

Moreover, layout management is being improved to be easier (eg : dragable controls).

I don't like either springlobby or tasclient. I'd like it if the battlewindow were just another tab in the chat as though it were like a channel/message window. Then you could easily see if there is an update in it the same way you can with channels, and not have two windows to switch between.

Problem is TASClient battle form opening is hard coded. You can move controls wherever you want but the battleform keeps existing.

just fixed that problem by focusing on the main control instead of the form, when joining or hosting a new battle (or just showing the battle screen) it will show and set the focus on the input box, same for the replay form, it will show and set the focus on the replay list, and it also fix the problem when opening a private chat from the battle form with the chat tabs not visible

from the Small Screen Full layout : just added a tab to the main tabs and moved everything from the battle form

Personally I would love to have the above battle screen layout with the default lobby window layout. Currently the setting changes both layouts, and there is no way to change the two layouts independently.

You can just use the layout editor...

Errrr, what layout editor?
All I could tell that allowed me to define my own layouts would be writing my own python scripts. I don't know python -_-

I looked in all the options.

Besides, now TASClient disappears whenever I try to change layouts. The windows disappear, but the process stays idle in the background.
