Is there anything equivalent to LayoutManager on Java Swing? I found
Lazarus use something like AbsoluteLayout by default. When I maximize
the Windows, the buttons are still on their old coordinates. So how to
make your app look consistent, let alone adapt to different screen
size? 

p/s: I'm not Delphi developer so don't point me to Delphi, please

I do not follow the discussion but recently people are talking "Modern
UI in Lazarus". I believe you may find what you want there.

You should use anchors  ....

There is a layout manager built into the LCL. Component properties
like alignment and anchors are parameters for this layout manager.

The "modern ui in lazarus" is a (very early) attempt at a different,
more web oriented rendering where layout managers places components
very roomy, and as a consequence often needs vertical scrolling.

I'm still troubled with Layout handling on Lazarus. But at least I
could use anchor now, still have no idea about align, autosize or
layout/childsizing...
