New overlay mode (Now ready for testing)

[realthunder]

I've focused the eye of Argus on it !
Regarding the App-Image, any chance of getting your work on "multi-body" included in it as well?

I just made the release. Welcome to try. Multi-body is not ready yet. Please check the release notes for changes.

Really nice work!! Congrats!
I think it's the best overlay mode approach I have seen so far.

Just to learn more about it:

• is would be possible to pack it as an addon in order to use it with regular FreeCAD?
• is it possible to style it with .qss stylesheets?

Cheers

Wow!

I'm specially amazed by this tab. Is this part of the new features? Was it existing and hidden before?
This solves a long annoying stuff for me : on really big sub-nested models,I never found a way to show all "parts" once you played with several show visibility toggle. Showing everything shows all the planes and axis which is a pain to reset to no-visibility.

Wit this new feature, I can:

* show everything as before (this show planes and axis as well)
* search by name for 'Origin', select a random item in the list found, and a single "space key" hit will toggle off all the planes and axis


[edit] 15 minutes I play with this new panel, and I cannot do without it! @realthunder I'm stuck with your appimage branch now!

Congrats!

By the way, a great new feature (at least for me) would be to be able to "group" all found objects into a draft layers. This would allow to, let say, search all brackets, or screws, and maye a layer of them. This way, it would be easy to toggle visibility for any groups of objects...

Things really do shine in this fork of yours @realthunder!

While in Part Design and trying to create a datum-, point, line or plane I got instant crash without any message of any sort.

I think it is possible to translate most of the functionality to PySide code, most of which are implemented in src/Gui/DocWindowManager.h/cpp

[*]is it possible to style it with .qss stylesheets?[/list]

Yes, please check the opening post for instructions. I have also made some minor change on the existing stylesheet, e.g. here.
