More ideas for minor UI tweaks.

First one:
Turning the currently workbench toolbar that is in Linkstage in a overlay and turn it into a dock, just like we have on the mac and on some Linux systems. Probably not so hard to do for realthunder :slight_smile:

Second grouping the Property view and the selection view into pull down menu’s instead of tabs.

And/or using side tabs that let you open these panels on the go, this as an alternative too the autohide function in Linkstage.
Example from Ms Code.

I like the idea of an overlayed toolbar, regarding data and view properties grouping i actually prefer the tabs, much easier to switch from one to the other. A sidebar to control active panels is also a good idea IMO.

Can probably do the sidebar with just macro buttons, I’ll try tomorrow.

Made the macro’s, wasn’t that hard with this macro:

Now I need 9 icons. :open_mouth:

Got it too work with custom icons, although no fancy ones just simple letters.
