Is it possible to extend the GUI with own menus and buttons?

First of all: Gazebo is really a nice robot simulation framework – and I really like the architectural decisions made. Especially its client/server approach and the plugin concept.

Currently I am looking into the Wiki pages about plugins and I already managed to get the examples running.

Now I am wondering if there is a possibility to provide users with additional menus or buttons in the GUI via a plugin as well. Is this possible and if so, how can this be achieved? If not, is it planned to integrate such a feature in later versions?

Thanks! :)

Yes, it's possible to add your own widgets to the window. You can create a GUI plugin, get the pointer to the main window, and do whatever you want to it.

Here's an example where a new item menu is added to the window.
