Will it have a 2d panel?

I'll try to do it. I still have a hard time understanding how the 2d panel works (how to program it). I am following the Developer Masterclass course from the founder of Orbiter and I am hopeful that I will succeed. I will publish pre-releases on my GitHub page.

I'll maybe write a tutorial on this topic, because I'm used to make rudimentary panels, and this was a nightmare. Since I've lost that, I can only tell you some tips, that you maybe already know.

First, surfaces are different of panels! This is so much important! The background surface (2048^2) can be bigger than the panel (1920*540). Thus, if you want to make a button in the top-right corner, by using oapiBlt, you MUST put an offset !!!
