Mid-Term Targets
- UI: Improved Operator Confirmations #104670
- UI: Cleanup Dialog to Manage Orphaned Data #106653
- Core: Allow Optional Use of Harfbuzz and FriBiDi #114947
- Could possibly allow complex shaping (like Arabic) for text objects with some limitations.
Long-Term Targets
- WIP: UI: Icons at 64x64 and Simplified Process #112261
- Simplified by no longer allowing customization. UI range increased. This has interest from the Module, but more investigation will be needed. This might slow down startup as the resizing of the bitmaps are done by the CPU at startup.
- Screen Area Tabs. Mockups? Looks like this would require headers to be always on top. And might also require changes to splitting and merging since the first tab will take action zone space.
- New widgets: Julian mentioned a need for a new slider control. Do we want switches too?
