… and use settings in manualControl.py and GCamera.py

You are absolutely right that there is more room for improvement, and actually checking the screen size to do the overlay would be much better. For now I just tried to get rid of having to change the overlay settings in two (hardcoded) places when I download a new version of your code, since the "old" overlay is hard coded in the manualControl and GCamera ... I know extremely little about python programming so if we wanted to do something more complex I probable would need some guidance how to proceed with it.

The other thing I wanted to try is to use camera.annotate_text to move the menu in manualControl and display it over the preview image, to better use my tiny screen (probably it should be "hideable" as well)

Btw did you see the new libcamera api they released? I think it can be potentially super interesting for our use case in the future, although apparently limited for now: https://libcamera.org/entries/2020-05-05.html

This will be fully addressed in the NEWGUI branch
