ModernUI Workbench

Introduction
The ModernUI Workbench is an external workbench that replaces the standard user interface. It has modern features such as:
 * Each workbench has its ribbon tab.
 * Modern UI ribbon tab replaces the top-level menu.
 * Activating a workbench's ribbon tab shows groups of the workbench's tools.
 * Panels such as Combo View are collapsed/expanded upon mouse-over.

Limitations and Troubleshooting

 * If you experience unexpected behavior, always first try to uninstall and then reinstall the ModernUI workbench.
 * The workbench is primarily tested with English and may exhibit unexpected behavior in other languages.
 * Installing more workbenches after installing ModernUI may cause problems.

Install
Install with the Addon Manager.

Note: To uninstall, you have to create a macro and execute it. If you do not feel confident about this, consider to not install.

Running Modern UI in a self-contained directory
To easily test Modern UI without interfering with your standard configuration, you can contain it in a separate directory. Uninstalling Modern UI is then simply accomplished by deleting the directory.

Linux
For example:

$ mkdir modernUI # new directory that contains Modern UI $ cd modernUI $ HOME="$PWD" FREECAD_USER_HOME="$PWD" FreeCAD_0.19.AppImage

When starting FreeCAD like this for the first time, you have a new default configuration. Now install (and configure) Modern UI. This is essentially a portable FreeCAD version.

Instead of using the command line, you can also create a dedicated desktop icon.

Windows
There are not dedicated instructions for Windows yet, however, it is very similar to creating a portable version of FreeCAD on a USB medium.

Uninstall
Detailed instructions can be found on GitHub.

The uninstall sequence is as follows:
 * 1) Uninstall with the [[Image:AddonManager.svg|24px|link=Addon Manager]] Addon Manager.
 * 2) Restart FreeCAD.
 * 3) Create a macro with this code:
 * 1) Execute the macro.
 * 2) Restart FreeCAD.
