Design improvement suggestion: move/remove rarely used horizontal spaces #57

dmitrypuzyrev commented 2 years ago

I suggest to test an experimental version of the GUI where some horizontal elements are moved/removed. We can move the Front view/Top view tab to the left border instead of top. We can also remove the empty space at the bottom, I think it shows some status/message information sometimes, but it's rarely used at the moment and all information can be showed in a dedicated Performed actions part of the interface instead. We can also try to trim/remove at least one of small gray/white borders around the image.

See the attached picture.

This canbe really beneficial because each horizontal element is decreasing the size of the image substantially. Especially for the smaller screen it is really helpful to have a larger image size.

Here is a version that minimizes the margins/padding of all the GUI elements. The statusbar has been removed and the tabs are moved to the left side. @dmitrypuzyrev: Please evaluate, whether these changes are sufficient.
