New UI toolWindow Anchor "top" no more compatible

Please use `ToolWindowFactory.getAnchor` to return a custom anchor and `ExperimentalUI.isNewUI()` to check is New UI is enabled.

Please note — API is internal. Such customization is not recommended.

Hi thanks for your response.

The question is, how can I cover both cases? new ui and old ui compatibility for my toolwindow ?

If I use "new ui" then anchor="top" crashes

Of course I don't want to touch the internal api. Shouldn't there be a proper way to do it?
