How about a change to the screen, add version number!

How about we put the version number in the title bar or menu bar. This way when we watch a tutorial or look at screen shots we can see the version number. I do this on some of my apps. when connected to a comm port, I display the port number. Those two lines on the screen do almost nothing, lets put it to use. Version and revision, 9 characters.

If it doesn't consume any space of the 3D window or the combo view it might be helpful. Many videos like those of Roland start with a clip of showing their FreeCAD info, but showing it permanently makes it easier to jump to some other point and still know which version it was made with.

Add something like framerate somewhere below the screen. or on top bar(where the x, the square andthe - are) just beside FreeCAD App name.

The title bar already shows "FreeCAD", I believe on most operating systems. So displaying "FreeCAD 0.17.13522" instead would not consume more space vertically. I have nothing against it, although I think just showing the version number (0.17) should be enough.

Can you please explain what use you have for a framerate counter. I've never understood why there is one in FreeCAD. This is a CAD program, not a first-person shooter.

If someone decides it is worthwhile to add it below the screen, I sure hope they make it optional.

Only reason i guess it is there is performance checking. The optional part is why i was also refereing to fps counter that's optional too.
