Description
Add to interface appearance the ability to move the "FLARM radar" to another location. The info boxes and FLARM are more important than the map. Knowing bearing, distance to turn, current climb, average climb. So the FLARM radar could easily go over the map.
The new Interface Appearance moves the boxes, which would solve my problem, as the radar stays on the right, except that there is no other option (other than right) for Vario Needle.

Work in progress, added: Top Left, Bottom Left, Top Right, Bottom Right (default), Centre Top, Centre Bottom. Just need to review code style, constants, structure.

There is now an "Auto" mode, which follows the location of the info boxes (within reason).
Long term this code may be one of Automatic move default then: Only in expert; or Only by hand in the profile file.

Almost complete. Just needs code clean up. Tested PC, Altair, Android.

I strongly disagree with "The info boxes and FLARM are more important than the map". For me the map is the single most important element of xcsoar. It gives me the situational awareness I need like location of airspaces and reachable airfields with arrival height. Everything else is nice to have since the most important things are even available without xcsoar (glider instruments and FLARM display, albeit with less details). Obviously this depends on your flying region. If there are no airfields or airspaces within your glide range the map is less important but in the region I fly that would be highly unusual.
As long as the location of the "secondary" elements remains configurable I have no problem with this change.

Replying to apf:
I strongly disagree with "The info boxes and FLARM are more important than the map".
Yes quite right. We discussed this in IRC and I neglected to update the ticket. Therefore the default is just to follow the info boxes. Thus the actual fix stops the flarm going over the map :-)
Thanks
