Change panel/frames order?

[Pablo Wolter]

Dirk,

Sorry it took me too long to be able to do the layout to show it … it is attached. Sorry the quality … I’m not good at this. Tried GIMP but just couldn’t figure it out.

As you can see I’m propose=ing the option to move the different windows around … I like the one I showed in the attach. The list on the left side and the options on the right. They are connected so for me makes sense have them side-by-side.

I don’t like to have the map/globe on all the time. So I just have it now all reduced to the right. Will make sense maybe put it as an additional tab next to Dive Notes / Equipment / Dive Info / Stats?
