Hi triplus,

It's nice you have started this
I have tried and I could only change the menu, I was interested in changing the cube size and "overall appearance"... how could I do it?

Thanks

Not very well known terms, but the concepts have been discussed for a very long time.
Question about axonometric view

Werner implemented it in git commit 64a94ae0f7c60fc.

how could I do it?

There will be some options under Cube menu... -> Settings. In addition to adding such settings i need to prepare an upstream oriented PR, adding some additional parameters to the NaviCube code itself.

ETA by the end of February.

By default there are now a few more items added to the navigation cube menu by default, once one installs CubeMenu. If it makes sense to add or remove an item or two, feel free to propose.

P.S. Beyond that the full command panel back-end was ported to cube menu. That comes down to being able to set predefined or fully customized global or workbench specific navigation cube menu and submenus.

Could you add parameters that control the x and y position of the navicube? So that it can be set to have an offset with one of the edges and be more comfortably used in cunjuction with glass addon.

You can use left mouse button to drag navicube position. I donont kown whether its your intention.

That doesn't survive a restart, I want to always set an offset from the border automatically at start

Yes, offset support should likely be possible. Will try to finish the work i plan to do by the end of February. I already tested some things like applying more thickness to the text and the result looks rather good, custom colors can be fun to play with too. I didn't manage to make the general opacity setting to work just yet, as selection doesn't work, once opacity gets involved, will see what i can do about that.
