> 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.).
