New design proposal

[untoldengine]

Thanks for putting this together @lordchronotrigger . I like the new style. However, it seems that the Environment and Effects tab are now gone. Was that done deliberately?

[lordchronotrigger]

Hi Harold, I’m glad you like it. You’ll see those tabs if you click on the project, at the project level in the left-hand panel, since this is something that affects the scene or project globally.

@lordchronotrigger ok, let me look into that again.

Hey @miogds and @lordchronotrigger — thanks for this. The redesign direction is great, and UI_Changes.md made it really easy to review. Please keep doing that on future PRs.

Before I can merge, one thing needs fixing:

Please rebase onto develop. This branch split off before develop bumped Package.swift from UntoldEngine 0.14.2 → 0.16.0, so it's currently missing 7 commits, including the serializer fix (7f8dd45c, "fixed abs path in serializer") that resolves a real bug.

On 0.14.2, .untoldscene files bake in an absolute, machine-specific assetBasePath. Reloading a scene on a different machine/path silently breaks asset resolution, causing every .untold model to fall back to the placeholder cube mesh. 0.16.0 fixes this.

Rebasing will also pick back up the .exr HDR import support that's currently regressed on this branch. I confirmed the branch builds fine otherwise — this is purely a stale-dependency issue, not a bug in your changes.

A couple of small cleanups while you're in there:

1. ToolbarView.swift is left as an empty deprecated stub. Your own notes in UI_Changes.md say it should be git rm'd, so let's actually do that.
2. There are two leftover Spanish strings: Label("Eliminar", ...) in AssetBrowserView.swift (lines ~680 and ~1747). These should probably be "Delete" to match the rest of the UI, unless localization is intentional here.

Non-blocking, but worth a look when you have time:

• rightPaneContents's flat-category branch and the new folderContentsView helper duplicate a fair amount of logic (row rendering, tap gestures, delete context menu). It might be worth collapsing these into one path so they don't drift apart later.
• The forced dark mode (preferredColorScheme(.dark)) is a one-way call to drop light mode. I just want to confirm that's an intentional product decision and not incidental to the redesign.

Once the rebase is in, I'm happy to take another pass and merge. Nice work overall.

[miogds]

For now we are working on the dark mode, because is cool, but the idea is support the light mode on the future

There is one feature that is missing. Take a look at this screenshot of the editor before your PR:

It has a button called "load authored" that is enabled when you select a .untold file. This function loads all the color-management and lights that were created in Blender for the scene.

The PR does not have this button:

Aside from this, I really like the new design.
