Hi Eran,
I'd like to ask you why did you remove the most of nice/useful GUI controls from the latest CL version? I really liked the CL's "fancy" look as well as new Output View panel look and behavior...

Regards
Michal

You you will need to specify what was removed... and which controls are you referring to.
I switched to wxToggleButton (Linux / Mac only) instead of the custom control since they looked pretty bad when using dark-theme on Linux.

The behavior is the same, nothing changed here

For example, the arrow button (displaying outputview tab's context menu) has disappeared, so if the (ugly) standard toggle buttons are placed outside the window user cannot switch to desired panel.

In my opinion the previous look was much better and polished that the new one (but of course, it is my subjective view). Look at the notebook tabs in attached screenshot and big toggle buttons in outputview tab...
I switched to wxToggleButton (Linux / Mac only) instead of the custom control since they looked pretty bad when using dark-theme on Linux.
So what about to read standard theme's colors and use it for drawing of gradients used in previous tabs' implementation (for example like wxFlatNotebook does)?

Best regards

The problem with Linux, is that it comes in many flavors

Try to switch to a darker theme and you will see how nicely it feets.
While the other theme does not,

I will see what I can do about it
