Thumbnail navigator: unhide the 'Related Information' button?

[SvenR]

Version: Windchill 12.0

Use Case: How to customize the Thumbnail Navigator in order to show the buttons 'navigate Thumbnails' and 'Related Information' besides each other and not as in the ootb-way where one hides the other?

Description:

Since either 'Related Information' or 'Navigate Thumbnails' is constantly hidden and users (!) don't remember what they don't see, I wanted to make both buttons visible at the same time, as alternatingly pressed/unpressed buttons. Small fix, huge transparency improvement.

Well, the question is now about which file to customize...?

It seems to end up all in the huge ...netmarkets/javascript/util/ext-and-extensions.js , but I suspect that this is not the 'real' source which we would want to customize...

I also think it's not 'officially' supported for customization, but nevertheless the layout must be defined somewhere... 

Has anybody a hint or an idea?

Best Regards 👍

This is not possible (at least not in anu easy way) .The details are hard coded in miniNavigator.jsfrag in a way that defies easy customization

thanks a lot for the fast reply! Yes, miniNavigator.jsfrag contains all those UI stuff. Looking at it gives me some headaches as I am not an extjs expert or even close...😇

But then I had the idea to simply display both panes at the same time, always. This could maybe done quite simply by making the container pane contain both panes one besides each other. My first tries were unsuccessful, but I will take a look at it again...
