Better 3D navigator

[Noisyfox]

• Add text to faces
• Better color scheme

i was planing to make color changes on this
• can you remove background color. its already has too much transparency and it look way more modern without it
src/slic3r/GUI/GLCanvas3D.cpp > 5697 > last argument is color. you need to change it to 0x00101010
• this colors will fit better imo. Text color #2d2d31, Cube color #939396

Great work btw

Great idea, it does look better without the background. Though I still prefer the current color.

look great. here is few optional features generally used on other apps.
different usages and unique features for navigation cube you might interested

I really like how FreeCAD implemented axis arrows. no text and arrow head. just colored straight line. looks much more modern

• Home button > Look selected plate from front-right-top
• Zoom button > Zooms all objects / zoom selected objects if selection is not empty
• Isometric / perspective toggle
• Dropdown menu for more options

Autodesk 3ds Max / Revit / AutoCAD

• You can use bottom circle for rotation on this one
• Big arrows turns cubes to neighbor face

FreeCAD docs

• Interesting shape but seems logical because angled surfaces represents direction of view angle

Awesome!
Though I think the while color is a bit too bright.
Maybe make it light gray?

First of all, I love your work to give OrcaSlicer a nicer look and feel. Functionality of course rules but UI/UX is also important.

FWIW, I'm using Fusion 360 often but now I see the FreeCAD viewcube, I think it's pretty neat! Very intuitive. If we could get that one... :)
often I'm scrolling and panning around too much to my liking in Orca, just to get the correct view, to see some details or so.

I personally like harder edge lines (can be non-contiguous, like Fusion but in a FreeCAD style cube it would soon become too busy as a picture), I feel the current proposal is too 'non-edgy' ...

Don't expect too much from current impl. It's fully rendered in 2d so any complicated shapes will be nearly impossible.

just shared :) these ones easy to implement compared to changing shape

• removing arrow heads and axis texts to make it more modern
• home button
• menu for additional options

ofc this ones a bit further steps
