[opensource-dev] FUI project just out

[Jonathan Welch]

I have good first impressions of this change, but there also need to
be some tweaks made to it:

Notification well at top right is always on top of floaters, so I
cannot have any floater flush right any more

Allow notification well to be moved to bottom right

Change default of left docked buttons to right docked.  I think this
will cause less of a shock to users when this viewer goes into release

Allow buttons to be located other than centered, at least let us have
the option for flush left/right/top/bottom
I have lost a lot of space at the bottom of the screen due to buttons
being centered there so I have to have the chat input box above them
or else shrunk to a useless size (apparently no one tests designs on a
1028x768 screen)

If you are going to have button layout per-user add a drop-down to the
layout floater so we can pick an existing layout from another account

Add text-only option for icons

Remove title bar from mini-map floater (this is probably a bug/regression)
