Move Skin menu to a pop up / slide over menu

[Daniel Schürmann]

in 2.1, the skin menus are displacing the skin widgets.
This leads to all sort of width and overlapping issues.
A good solution would be to add the skin menus to a separate window or a slide over widget, leaving the original skin widgets in shape.

I think to a

<SkinMenu>
...
</SkinMenu>

entry

or a generic drawer widget.

This can be useful for other things as well

Thanks for tracking this.

A separate window brings up other issues, I'd prefer some widget that's laid on top of the skin. That's what I tried in the original Tango skin with a widget stack, but that didn't work on some version of Mac OS.

Do you have examples for the drawer widget you mentioned?

as discussed in https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/1623

this menu may also supply scrollbars, translatable button strings

quote: ronso0:
The reason some quick toggles are in the top bar in Tango but not in the skin menu is simply there's not enough space at minimal height. The major checkboxes you introduced can be of help there, as well. Sooner or later we'll probably need to migrate the skin settings to an standalone widget which could supply scrollbars, translatable button strings and other features as @daschuer suggested in lp:1765926
