Hi again,

I've uploaded a more-or-less functional version of GALified eeschema to
my github [1]. Note it only has new canvas, but old tools (hacked to
work with different rendering model). Currently only the schematic
editor is GALified, the viewer/library editor as well as all preview
panels in various dialogs still use the old renderer.

Have a look if you have time and report bugs (I know the colors are
somewhat incorrect and pin labels are sometimes at wrong positions).

Since we are at it: could someone of our senior devs explain why the
library editor view has inverted Y axis wrs to all other Kicad applications?

Cheers,
Tom
