Cool main main window as described at https://blogs.kde.org/2016/06/01/kexi-3
- Qt-Creator like global view selector
- better suited for Mac and Windows versions (native menus are back!)
- superflat style with 1990's paddings removed but with with some "material" touch
- content-is-king approach: darker side panes don't stay in the way
- QWidget-based but styled beyond what QWidgets typically can do
- Breeze style and icons-optimized (planned as the default on all OSes for 100% of portability)
- icons styling beyond Breeze: some icons lighten and get colorful on dark backgrounds
- the Kexi/Create/Design button bar will be replaced with something else
- property pane uses real widgets for more natural experience (think UX Pin or Krita...)
- cool animations for hiding/showing project navigator (Alt+0) and Property editor (Alt+3)
Place holders so far:
- help mode (?) button, not sure me enable it for 3.2, can be eventually like the help in Creator
- Project mode button: needs some design, it's a place where user can configure project-wide aspects conveniently (think: Projects pane of Creator)
- unsure about SQL view of queries, still present as a switched in the query designer itself; it can be also a Text or SQL mode button below the Design mode, problem is that the mode make sense for queries and scripts for now
- Scripts view need porting to the new layout
- property pane's layout needs further layout cleanups and stylization, ultimately a move from list view to form for all properties, for now we have a form for data related properties only; the functionality would be coded in KProperty 3.2 though
