Hi,

I think there is a misunderstanding here. There is no "Design View" 
outside of the editor itself. If you are talking about seeing the views 
on the Windows's task bar, well, those are supposed to be hidden. Some 
people install windows managers that show all windows, even those that 
were explicitly hidden!

If instead you are talking about them showing up on the white design 
surface within the VE itself along side the main window, then that is 
correct. They must show up there or you would not be able to customize them.
