Important note: This list on sourceforge is no longer active. You have to
use the new one: https://lists.gambas-basic.org/listinfo/user. I'll answer
this question with the new list in CC.

If you open your eyes really wide and hover with your cursor over the area
in the attached screenshot, you will see two arrows pop up (shown inside the
red ellipse). Click on that control and the toolbox should become visible.
There are other panels which you can show/hide in this way.

Regards,
Tobi
