 The design is based on the ''wx.Aui.Manager'' class, which is the central class of the AUI class framework. In this class, we create so-called panes i.e. panels with docking and floating behavior (more [https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/wx.aui.AuiManager.html]). ''wx.Aui.Manager'' is not a new concept in GRASS. As we can see in Figure 2, it is already used for creating dockable toolbars in the upper part of the Layer Manager and in the Map Display. These tabs, as well as the Menu bar at the top of the software, will remain the same as in version 7.9.
 
-The designed Single Window Layout consists of 1 window, in the middle of which are Map Displays as notebook tabs. Each Map Display tab, therefore, represents a Map Display window, as we know it from version 7.9. we cannot move with a tab containing Map Displays (it is not dockable), but we can divide the space so that more maps can be seen at once (see Figure 5).

 Depending on which Map Display is active, the correct tab in the Display tab is selected and vice versa. Around the central map notebook, there are 5 dockable panes in a standard 2D projection - Data Catalog and Display on the left, Modules, Console, and Python on the right. When switching to 3D projection, this number is increased by the 3D view tab - which is displayed in the left part under the Display panel. Dockable panes can be pulled out and rearranged according to the user's own preferences. One example can be seen in Figure 6. 
 Panes can only be maximized and minimized. The situation after minimizing all panes can be seen in Figure 7. Closing panes in the case of GRASS does not bring any special plus in my opinion - after closing it is usually hard to find and reopen the tab (hopefully the reader will tell me the truth :-)) and it would also involve the implementation of a check box mechanism to the menu bar as e.g. in QGIS. GRASS has most functionalities in the form of separate modules, which means that the number of tabs is a maximum of 6 (unlike QGIS having almost 20 tabs).
