v28 v29 26 26 27 27 After significant improvements of the Data Catalog [https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/GSoC/2020/StartupWindow], which led to the creation of a new startup mechanism and the removal of the startup screen, another topic enhancing the user experience comes into consideration - a Single-Window User Interface. 28 All historical versions of GRASS GIS are spread across multiple screens. It can be beneficial for some, but it can be a bit annoying as well ,e.g. tabs in Layer Manager can cause trouble to new users. The new design would therefore assume that all panels would be visible immediately after startup.28 All historical versions of GRASS GIS are spread across multiple screens.

The new design would therefore assume that all panels would be visible immediately after startup. 29 29 The fact that a Single Window layout would really be appreciated by users can also be deduced from the surveys conducted in my master thesis [https://github.com/ctu-geoforall- lab-projects/dp-kladivova-2021/blob/master/text/linda-kladivova-dp-2021.pdf]. 30 Of course, especially long-term users can prefer the existing multi-window layout, so the original option will be retained. The Single-Window GUI will thereforebe built "next to" the existing Multi-Window GUI. As an example, the GIMP software works similarly. It is also left to the user the option to switch to multi-layout, but by default, it starts in a single layout.30 Of course, especially long-term users can prefer the existing multi-window layout, so the original option will be retained.
