There is! Your attitude towards developers who use poor approaches when designing a product you’re paying for. Don’t you think you deserve to receive a really good product after paying so much money?
The Architextures toolbar saves its state on Windows (closing using the “x” while undocked, unchecking it in the drop down, or disabling in the Extension Manager). Must be a Mac thing. Nothing about it on the developer website, but you can see the developers use Mac.
There is support in the Ruby API for an extension developer to repeat the state of their toolbar from the last time SketchUp was run, or to force it to be either open or closed. Unless you argue that SketchUp should not provide these choices, it is surely an extension developer choice.

There’s nothing I can do about it, I prefer to live my life without worrying and getting stressed for something that is out of my control, it makes me sleep a lot better. Sure I would prefer to keep my workspace always as I want, but closing a few toolbars or disabling/enabling them is not something that keeps me up at night.
Plus not only paid extensions have those issues, a lot of free ones have as well, and I’m thankful for those useful free tools.

you’re right, extension developers - at least the ones on your screen - use a poor approach when designing a product you’re paying for.
The ruby API allows them to force windows to be open or closed, and they don’t do it.
you deserve to receive a really good product after paying so much money for it. Unless off course it’s a free extension, then you didn’t pay anything, therefore you don’t deserve anything either. Or, you know, if you didn’t pay that much money. for 10 bucks you deserve average quality. those are the rules.
But, following your logic, you shouldn’t blame sketchup devs, you should blame apple devs.
They allowed third party devs to make softwares using languages that allow windows to pop open on relaunch.
these guys are really incorrigible.

So do the SketchUp developers. They’ve been first.
Most of the extensions are free, but SketchUp isn’t free, it’s paid.
Other app developers have dealt with this so the plugin/extension toolbars/windows/panels don’t display if the user doesn’t want them to.I have around 20 years of experience using various types of apps (software), and this is the first time I have encountered this kind of problem with an app’s UI.
sorry, that on is on me, I was using sarcasm, but forgot to add a disclaimer in my message.
You act like SketchUp is free so users shouldn’t demand to get a good app with a good (at least not annoying) interface with no issues.
Why do you act as if SketchUp isn’t a paid app, but only some paid extensions are?
No solution. I go to Preferences and make them larger so its easier to close them
Any others found a solution?
