2.4 Mock-up

2.4.1 Initial draft

This was the first draft of creating the main view of the application with panel where and how to select a screen or a window.

2.4.2 First design iteration

After another design iteration, we landed on this design, which will probably be just a temporary solution, because there probably are many things we didn't consider into this design iteration.
