>> The next rows include a brief version of the final report. The full
>> version with permanent links on GitHub PRs and with screenshots of
>> Single-Window GUI improvements can be found in the project wiki [1].
>>
>> *Abstract:*
>> This project follows ideas for Single-Window GUI improvements mentioned
>> in the last-year Mini-project final report (please see
>> <https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/wxGUIDevelopment/RedesigningStatusbar#FinalReport>
>> [2]).
>>
>> The core part of the project is devoted to undocking map display
>> functionality. This ability is essential to users who prefer the well-known
>> Multi-Window GUI arrangement. The other part focuses on improving the
>> layout of the Console pane. Related to the Console pane issue, the
>> toggleable Log file button in the Console pane is replaced by the simple
>> Export history button which can store the whole history of executed
>> commands. The project also verifies if workspaces work well in
>> Single-Window and addresses saving the current user layout to a workspace
>> file. The workspace file also remembers and loads undocked map displays.
>>
>>
>> *The state of the art BEFORE the start of the Mini project:*
>>
>>    - The Single-Window GUI does not allow rearrangement to Multi-Window
>>    GUI.
>>    - The widget with buttons managing the Command prompt is partly
>>    hidden after the GRASS launch.
>>    - The Single-Window arrangement is not stored within the workspace.
>>
>> *The state of the art AFTER Mini project:*
>> Starting with GRASS 8.4 we can come across several Single-Window
>> improvements that were implemented as part of this project. First, there is
>> the new possibility to create a Multi-Window interface by undocking map
>> displays. Moreover, we can store a new arrangement within workspace files.
>> Last but not least, the Console layout better fits the Single-Window
>> interface.
>>
>> *Next Steps:*
>> Possible improvements for Single-Window GUI:
>>
>>    - Each user should be able to choose a convenient arrangement of
>>    widgets. Creating, saving, and selecting perspectives could be part of a
>>    new tab menu.
>>    - It is necessary to change the rendering of the 3D View panel. Now
>>    the 3D View pane is added as another panel under the Display tab - very
>>    problematic in terms of space.
>>    - Modify the appearance for the dark mode. Some parts are ugly and
>>    illegible (names of AuiNotebook tabs, names of panes, ugly gradients, etc.).
>>
>> Permanent links and screenshots can be found at [3] and [4].
