PPI radar screen on second monitor

[bc38]

I use the second monitor as a separate PPI radar display, I encountered some inconveniences with this kind of work

1. PPI window needs full screen function. Now the upper bar of the PPI window glows strongly in the dark. On the top of the screen you have to glue a black strip.
2. The menu should always be on top of the PPI window. By fixing the menu on the second monitor. When the menu is called, it opens under the PPI window. It is not very convenient to work with the menu when the PPI window is a few meters from the main monitor. A menu over PPI would solve this problem.
3. The symbols "+" and "-" in the adjustment menu are too small and are not readable at a distance, they would be increased by 4 times.

Wishes for functionality
On the PPI radar window When you clicked on the Gain, Sea, Rain indicators, a menu with a section of adjustments automatically opened.

As to issues 1 + 2

We use a very very very dodgy part of wxWidgets to create the separate displays that can be docked and undocked. No work has been done on this part of wxWidgets since 10 years or more. The way it works is really hard to coerce, and we are glad that it works the way it does -- even if it is not optimal.

This is one of the problems of using a UI library that tries to be multi platform, it doesn't allow us to do everything we want.

Feel free to experiment with the code and try to come up with a better solution. We tried for weeks and months, and at the time we couldn't. Maybe, just maybe, there are now settings in wx that fix this nowadays. I'm not hopeful.

Please create separate issues for 3 and 4, we can do something about those (when we have time, so not in 3 hours or 3 days or even 3 weeks. I am going sailing for 3 months next week...)
