Hi Nyall

Just a thought -- did you try splitting this navigation widget off

We had a discussion about this and since the tool-style window will be on
top and the 3D map view is also on top, they will "fight". I tried a little
experiment with another tool window, and the result is the window is merged
in a tab style window.

We also feel the same, but it seems for this GSoC project, that's the best
way I can go since we have time limitation. Hopefully, we can make it
better later.


Nice progress Ismail, keep up the great work!


Thanks, Nyall

Best regards.
