[GRASS-dev] Mini project 2022: Week 2: Redesigning a map display status bar combo box into a new settings dialog

Hello guys,

first I would like to say that I have read the thread about Single-Window experimental mode [1] and it is so nice to see that some of you have already tried it out and like it!

(I can admit it - I secretly wish once we fine-tune some things like the status bar and Single-Window becomes the default, nobody has wanted to use Multi mode anymore. :-))

Secondly, I would like to share with you the report for this week which is also available at [2].

1) What did I complete this week?
This week I have worked on moving the Mask widget to the main status bar [3]. It has shown to be quite a complicated task because we need to change the way of how the Mask in the status bar is updated. In addition, I have opened the PR on moving the “Use defined projection” checkbox to our new Map Display settings dialog [4].

2) What am I going to achieve for next week?
I am gonna finish the above-mentioned PRs. There is still quite lots of work and thinking - mainly in terms of Mask.

3) Is there any blocking issue?
No, it isn’t. Just regarding the rest of the week - I am leaving for the skiing holiday today so I will start working again on Monday.
