Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Make the editor looks nice.

  • Icons should be monochrome svg scaled to the size of 16x16. this could be configurable.
  • Slightly round corners for non panel controls, this could be configurable.
  • Keep it compact with a font size of 8-13 and a margin of 3 on all sides, this could be configurable.
  • Use classic desktop widgets for desktop, aka no modern mobile or web pages. aka more like dear imgui, unity3d, godot, unreal. this could be different on mobile.
  • Allow modifying the editor color and contrast.
  • The ability to switch between light and dark mode with icons.
  • Use a constant height for controls that are not containers
  • Icons should be centered vertically and horizontally not filled
  • Icon Buttons should be small with the same width as height
