[Flightgear-devel] New re-arranging and styling for the QtLauncher

[Sébastien V. <seb...@gm...>]

Hello,

Here a proposition for re-arranging the QtLauncher, in order to make it
more "user-friendly":

1) Replacing the main tabs "summary", "aircraft", "location", "settings"
and "addons" by a vertical icon box, on the left side of the window.

2) Splitting the current "Settings" tab page into 3 tabs:
    - "Time",
    - "Weather"
    - "Settings"
    ...in order to give more place for icons and images instead of text.

3) Removing the "Quit" button.

4) Changing "Run" by "Fly!"

For the general style, the current look of the QtLauncher is closer to an
editor than to a start dialog. We could change the Qt stylesheet in order
to customise the UI (to give it a special "touch"), with a nice and modern
look. For instance something like the Windows Metro UI style (=tiles, with
a dominant colour) or elegant like the Papyros UI (http://papyros.io/) ?

Regards
Seb
