This week I took a break from other work to get things done with the floating controls proposal before the midterm. I got it to display buttons that the user can press and that are laid out by the current layout engine. The implementation was actually not very difficult or intrusive to current code. I also added a new feature to the layout engine so that the buttons can be aligned along the bottom or center (vertically) of the 3D view. I also added a userprefs option to allow the user to specify whether the controls should go on the top right left or center of the 3D view, or not display at all. Currently there are only three buttons corresponding to GER, but later I'll be expanding that can be done with these buttons. Eventually my goal is that any design a Blender dev may want to make for the floating controls will be possible to create via Python. If you want to check it out, here's the Bratwurst branch for this week:<br>

Next week I'll be focusing on bug fixes and feature requests that have come in over the week.<br>
