Project the texture in the model's own orientation, and stop the preview tiling

The bake frame took its orientation from the world, so turning a part on the
plate slid the decoration across its surface. Turning a part is a print-time
decision - clearance, supports, warping - and it should not be a design one.
The frame now takes its orientation from the model and keeps world scale, so a
tile is still tiling_scale printed millimetres whatever the instance's scale.

The rotation is separated out by polar decomposition rather than by assuming
the linear part is a rotation times a scale, since a sheared or mirrored
placement is legal here. A reflection is deliberately left with the scale, so a
mirrored instance still makes the frame's determinant negative and the bake
still flips the normals it derives.

The preview shaders rebuild that frame themselves from a world position, so
they take the same rotation through a uniform; without it the fast preview and
the bake would disagree, which is the class of bug this is fixing. The gizmo's
own way back out to world carries the rotation too, which it did not need to
when the frame was world-aligned.

Tiling in the fast preview:

- the sampler wrap mode was set on the height texture but not on the colour
  texture, which sits on its own unit and is sampled at the same uv. So with
  Tile off the relief stopped at one placement while the colour carried on
  repeating around it.
- outside a single placement the colour then came out black, because a zero
  texture border cannot say "no colour here", only "the colour is black here".
  The shader now tests the uv the way sample_layer_color() does and leaves the
  surface its own colour.

The placement gizmo is a tile of a planar projection, so it is offered only for
the mappings that have one. An unwrap cuts the surface into islands and packs
them, and a model's own UV channel is whatever its author drew: one tile lands
there as an arbitrary curved patch with no rectangle to take hold of. Those two
say so and point at the UV editor instead.

+# Color picker
+
+The color picker is a local HTML dialog hosted by `ColorPickerDialog`, a
+`WebViewHostDialog` subclass. Its header and implementation own the ordered
+selection contract and shared filament conversion. Bridge validation, favorites
+persistence, placement and gettext strings remain private to the implementation.
+Its colors use the existing `ColorRGBA` utility.
+It uses a native title bar and fixed window border, allowing dragging but no
+manual resizing or maximization. Native title-bar colors use the application's
+shared dialog dark-theme update on creation and theme changes.
+Like SpeedDial, the host disables browser zoom accelerators, restores native
+WebView focus on activation and readiness, and synchronizes layout and the macOS
+viewport before repainting the backend. Activation never dismisses this modal
+dialog; focus restoration preserves an active editor and its partial input.
+The initialized page reports
+its intrinsic content height; native code validates the current page identifier
+and bounded numeric height, converts CSS pixels to device-independent window
+size, and fits within the display's work area. Identical sizes are ignored. The
+page observes content rather than viewport height, so resizing does not create
+a feedback loop; oversized content remains scrollable.
+The panel snapshots the triggering color or More Colors button's screen rectangle.
+It aligns below the button, flips above when needed, and clamps to that button's
+display work area on initial display. Later content and DPI changes update only
+the client size, preserving the position chosen by dragging the title bar.
+wxGTK clears the dialog's default
+parent-centering constraint and reapplies its native position after showing,
+bypassing wxGTK's requested-position cache. Absolute top-level placement remains
+subject to the window manager; Wayland compositors control it. The official filament palette's
+existing placement is independent of this custom panel.
+A solid selection contains one color; a gradient contains exactly two ordered
+endpoints. The bridge represents these as `{"type":"solid|gradient",
+"colors":["#RRGGBBAA", ...]}`. RGB input is also accepted and becomes opaque.
+Native validation rejects malformed hex and incorrect cardinality.
+
+The project filament color action and the official filament picker's More Colors
+action enable two-endpoint gradients and independent endpoint alpha. The preset
+combo box reads project colors in their stored vector order locally and applies
+changes through `sync_colour_config`,
+retaining the existing RGB/RGBA profile/project formats and dirty marking.
+Sidebar gradient and segmented multicolor swatches draw colors in the supplied
+order without sorting them.
+Opaque colors use `#RRGGBB`; nonopaque colors use `#RRGGBBAA`, including fully
+transparent alpha `00`. Initial selections, alpha-only edits and cancellation
+retain stored alpha. Ordered
+custom results bypass the official palette's `FilamentColor` set. Choosing an
+official swatch retains its existing palette behavior.
+The Linux sidebar's Change extruder color menu uses this same custom editor and
+the filament swatch anchor, including alpha, ordered gradients and configuration syncing.
+
+Striped colors and gradients with more than two endpoints cannot be represented
+by this editor. A notice explains that the current selection is retained; the
+editor starts from the first color, and unchanged confirmation is a no-op.
+Cancellation is also a no-op. If the WebView backend cannot initialize, a local
+unavailable panel offers Cancel and Escape, without opening a system color picker.
+
+Generic color option fields use an ordinary color button on every platform and
+open the same panel with gradients and alpha disabled. The panel is anchored to
+the field button. Empty or invalid field values remain undefined (the empty
+string), distinct from opaque black. Right-click resets to undefined. Cancel does
+not notify the field; confirmation and reset notify only when its RGB string
+changes. Programmatic assignments remain silent, and reading a field never
+writes legacy favorites.
+
+AMS material settings retain their fixed/AMS swatches and first-level popup. Only
+its custom-color action opens the solid, opaque editor, anchored to that custom
+control. The transient popup releases its grab while the modal is open and returns
+to the same selection on cancellation. Confirmation uses the existing default-color
+and packed RGBA event path. Device permission/status checks remain at the first-level
+entry.
+
+Texture import's color-mapping Add Material action opens a solid, opaque editor
+anchored to the mapping row. The existing filament limit is checked before opening.
+The first-level material popup closes as an action; its callback is copied before
+dismissal, so popup destruction does not invalidate the modal's completion path.
+Confirmation invokes the existing virtual-filament callback once; cancellation
+adds no material.
+
+Native gettext strings are installed at document start. Static page labels and
+palette names use stable English keys; RAL codes, channel symbols, and numeric
+labels remain data. The palette color values do not depend on the UI language.
+The application locale also sets the document language. Numeric editor validation
+uses the application's gettext messages, rather than browser language defaults;
+missing translations fall back to the stable English keys.
+
+The pure color/state regressions run with
+`node --test resources/web/dialog/ColorPickerDialog/colorpicker.test.js`.
+Optional real-browser regressions live beside them in
+`colorpicker.browser.test.js`. They use an existing Playwright installation
+(`ORCA_PLAYWRIGHT_MODULE` can name its module path) and an installed browser
+(`ORCA_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE` can name its executable), without adding a production
+dependency. They cover bridge initialization, capability combinations, invalid
+editor recovery, ordered endpoint alpha, favorites, gettext keys, and live theme
+changes. These browser checks complement native contract/persistence tests; they
+do not establish the full native modal confirmation and favorites journey.
+
+Gradient and alpha capabilities are independent and default off. Unsupported
+gradients are rejected; disabled alpha normalizes the selected result to opaque.
+Favorites retain both capabilities independently of the current caller. The page
+stores alpha as a byte and only converts to percentage when displaying or editing
+opacity, so switching endpoints does not change alpha precision.
+
+The page starts disabled. Each document supplies a page identifier in its ready
+message, receives native initialization, and acknowledges it before native code
+accepts confirmation or favorite updates. Repeated initialization does not reset
+edits, and messages from an obsolete document are ignored. Native WebView message
+handling is deferred and guarded by a lifetime token. Only a validated confirmation
+sets the optional result. Cancel, Escape and native window close leave it empty.
+
+Favorites belong to application configuration, separately from the selected result,
+in the editor configuration returned by `AppConfig::config_path()` under `data_dir()`.
+The `color_picker` section has string `version` equal to `1` and a `favorites`
+string containing a JSON array of typed selections. Native helpers normalize and
+deduplicate this array in order and limit it to 24 entries. Updates replace the
+entire section and immediately call `AppConfig::save()`, so accepted favorite
+changes survive cancellation. Empty arrays are saved explicitly. Core `AppConfig`
+only stores the raw section; color validation belongs to the GUI boundary.
+
+When the section is absent, valid solid colors from `custom_color_list` are imported
+once, without changing that legacy section. The legacy native picker saves decimal
+`r,g,b,a` byte strings; hexadecimal RGB and RGBA strings are also supported. Migration
+strictly validates all four decimal channels and preserves alpha. Gradient strings
+and malformed values are ignored. The new version and an empty array are
+saved even when there is nothing to import. A present section with an unknown or
+missing version is left untouched and disables favorite writes. Malformed version
+1 data is displayed as empty and remains on disk until the user explicitly saves
+a valid replacement. Other configuration sections and project/profile color
+formats are independent of this storage.
+
+Interface colors consume the host's `data-orca-theme` and `--orca-*` contract through
+shared styles. The picker opts into scoped global control roles. Application theme
+changes update UI surfaces without reloading the page or changing color data.

+# Focus mode (hiding inactive plates) — High Level Design
+
+## Purpose and scope
+
+"Focus mode" is an entry of the canvas menu in the bottom left corner of Prepare. Turned on (eye
+lit), the 3D view hides the inactive plates and shows the current plate alone, so a project with
+many plates can be worked on one plate at a time. Turned off, every plate is shown. It is a view
+setting: it changes nothing in the model, the slice or the project file, and it does not reach
+plate thumbnails. The choice is kept in the app config as `focus_mode`, off by default.
+
+Preview needs no such option, as it already draws the current plate alone and has its own plate
+toolbar. The assembly view and the Design tab do not lay objects out on plates, so the entry is
+disabled there.
+
+## What is shown
+
+The current plate is drawn with its bed, label and icons; the other plates are not drawn at all. The
+world axes, which Prepare draws at the corner of the first plate, move to the corner of the current
+plate, where Preview draws them.
+
+An object instance is shown when its footprint, the XY bounding box of the convex hulls of its
+volumes, overlaps the current plate, or when it is selected. The test is made per instance, so the
+parts of an object are shown or hidden together, and a wipe tower follows its plate the same way.
+It is geometric rather than the plate membership `PartPlateList` keeps, because an instance stays on
+the plate it was first placed on: an object of another plate that reaches over this one, or one too
+large for any plate, would otherwise be invisible while it takes room on the current plate. A
+selected instance stays visible so that what a selection or a gizmo acts on is never hidden, for
+instance an object picked in the object list on another plate.
+
+## Hiding
+
+A hidden object is neither drawn nor picked. `GLCanvas3D::_update_inactive_plates_visibility()`
+runs at the start of each frame of Prepare. It clears `GLVolume::is_active` on the volumes of the
+hidden instances and deactivates their raycasters, which every render pass, the hover and rectangle
+selection, the shadow and center of mass markers already respect. It also deactivates the raycasters
+of the other plates, whose icons would otherwise still take clicks where nothing is drawn. The state
+persists between frames, so the raycasts made while handling the mouse, such as the anchor of a pan,
+see the same scene as the frame.
+
+Other features clear `is_active` too: gizmos hide the objects they do not edit and show them all
+again when they close. `GLVolume::on_hidden_plate` records which volumes this update hid, so it only
+shows again what it hid itself, and it waits for a gizmo that hides objects to close before doing
+so. A volume another feature made active again is hidden again on the next frame. While Focus mode
+is off and nothing is left hidden, the update returns at once.
+
+## Switching plates
+
+The other plates cannot be clicked while Focus mode hides them, so a compact counterpart of the Preview
+plate toolbar takes their place: a column of plate thumbnails in the top left corner, below the top
+toolbar, shown when the project has more than one plate and no gizmo is open. The thumbnails are the
+ones the Preview toolbar shows (`PartPlate::thumbnail_data`); the canvas rebuilds its textures when
+`Plater::plate_toolbar_image_version()` changes, a counter each consumer tracks on its own so that the
+Preview toolbar's dirty flag is left alone. That counter moves after almost every edit, so the
+thumbnail of the current plate, the only one edited while the others are hidden, is drawn again each
+time, and the other plates' only once an edit to them has invalidated theirs. The current plate has an
+accent border, a hovered one the gray border of the Preview toolbar, empty plates are dimmed and the
+plate number sits in the corner; the tooltip gives the plate name. A click selects the plate and
+clears the selection, as a click on a plate row of the object list does. The column scrolls when it
+does not fit above the 3D navigator or the canvas toolbar. Its scrollbar works as the Preview
+toolbar's, with which it shares its style: it shows only while the mouse is over the column or drags
+the bar, and the mouse wheel scrolls the column either way.
+
+Whatever selects a plate while the others are hidden, the camera moves its target over the new plate
+and keeps its angle, distance and height (`PartPlateList::select_plate()`), so the plate comes into
+view where the previous one was. A zoom to all plates, as after loading a project or adding a plate,
+frames the current plate instead. Turning Focus mode on does the same, so the current plate fills the view.

+# Tooltip illustrations
+
+The texture-displacement panel's tooltips can carry a picture under their text: a still image, or a
+short animation that loops while the tooltip is open. Several settings in that panel describe a shape
+rather than a number - what Rotation turns, what Tile repeats, what Invert turns inside out - and a
+sentence about a shape is read twice and understood once.
+
+## Where a tooltip is drawn
+
+`GLGizmoTextureDisplacement::panel_tooltip()` replaces `ImGuiWrapper::tooltip()` throughout the panel.
+It differs in two ways.
+
+It places the tooltip beside the panel instead of under the mouse. The panel is pinned to the right
+edge of the canvas, so a tooltip following the mouse covers the control it is explaining, and one
+carrying a picture covers most of the panel with it. The tooltip goes to the left of
+`m_tooltip_anchor_min`/`_max` - the panel's own screen rectangle, or the texture picker's while that
+popup is up and the tooltip comes from inside it - and to the right only when there is no room on the
+left. This is the placement the picker popup itself already uses.
+
+ImGui normally keeps a tooltip glued to the mouse and ignores `SetNextWindowPos()`. Orca's imgui
+branch honours a position set for a tooltip (see the `ImGuiWindowFlags_Tooltip` branch of `Begin()` in
+`deps_src/imgui/imgui.cpp`) and still clamps the result inside the canvas, which is what keeps a tall
+tooltip near the bottom edge on screen.
+
+It also gives the tooltip a fixed width rather than one derived from its text, because a picture has
+to be laid out against something, and a column of tooltips that are all one width is steadier to read.
+
+## Where the pictures live
+
+`resources/images/texture_displacement/`, as PNG, JPG, BMP or GIF. A tooltip names them by file:
+
+```cpp
+hover_tip(_u8L("Repeats the texture across the painted area. ..."),
+          { { "tile_off.png", _L("Off") }, { "tile_on.png", _L("On") } });
+```
+
+Several in one tooltip are laid out side by side at equal widths, which is how a setting is shown as a
+comparison - the same model at two values of it. The caption under each is translated; the file name
+is not.
+
+A file that is missing or will not decode is skipped, and a tooltip whose pictures are all missing is
+exactly the text tooltip it was before. So the art for a tooltip can land after the tooltip does, and
+a half-finished set never breaks the panel.
+
+## When a tooltip appears
+
+A tooltip waits for the pointer to rest on its control for 0.45 s. The panel is dense and the tooltip
+lands on the model beside it, so with no wait a sweep from the top of the panel down to Bake flashes a
+dozen large panels over the scene. Once one has just been up, the wait drops to 0.1 s for 0.7 s
+afterwards, so reading several settings in a row stays quick - but not to zero, or that same sweep
+would flash again the moment one tooltip had been seen.
+
+No tooltip appears at all while a control is being used - a slider dragged, a value typed into one, a
+combo open, a layer card being dragged. The pointer sits on the very thing being edited, so a tooltip
+there covers the model exactly while the user is watching it change. The full wait comes back
+afterwards rather than the short one: having just let go of a slider is not a reason to be shown a
+picture of it.
+
+A pointer resting on a control produces no events, and the canvas only renders when something asks it
+to, so the wait has to ask for its own frames, and so does an animation once one is on screen. So does
+a tooltip that has just appeared, animated or not: ImGui hides a window on the first frame it is
+submitted while it measures it, and does so every time a tooltip reappears because those windows are
+recycled, so the frame a tooltip is decided on is never the frame it is seen on. Both use
+`GLCanvas3D::request_extra_frame()`, which ends `on_idle()` with `evt.RequestMore()` and so obliges wx
+to deliver the next idle. `schedule_extra_frame()` is not enough on its own: it only arranges a timer
+whose event an idle event is assumed to follow, and on_idle renders nothing unless the canvas was
+already dirty when it ran. Asking for frames as fast as they come is safe here because which frame is
+drawn comes from the clock, not from the frame count, so a redraw that arrives early simply draws the
+same frame again.
+
+## Decoding and playback
+
+`slic3r/GUI/AnimatedTexture.hpp` decodes a file once and uploads one GL texture per frame. Stills go
+through `wxImage`; GIFs go through `wxGIFDecoder`, whose raw palette indices are composited here frame
+by frame, replaying the disposal method each frame asks for. That replay is what makes an animation
+look continuous: a GIF frame is a sub-rectangle drawn over what came before it, so an animation that
+only re-sends the pixels that changed draws as a flicker of disconnected patches without it.
+
+A frame delay of 0 or 1 hundredths of a second is read as 100 ms, the convention browsers settle on,
+so an animation authored against that plays at the speed it was authored at.
+
+The animation restarts when its tooltip opens, rather than running off a free-running clock: these are
+short loops of one setting going from one value to another, and joining one halfway through shows the
+end of a change the user never saw the start of.
+
+Which frame is drawn is measured on a real clock, not `ImGui::GetTime()`. Nothing in OrcaSlicer ever sets
+`io.DeltaTime`, so it keeps imgui's default of 1/60 per frame and imgui's clock counts frames rather
+than seconds. On a canvas that renders only when asked, that is not a clock at all: an animation driven
+by it crawls while the canvas is idle and races while a moving mouse is rendering it flat out.
+
+## Making one
+
+`scripts/gen_texture_displacement_tips.py` draws the lot, in four languages, picked by what the
+setting actually is:
+
+- **A shaded relief**, for the settings that are about a pattern: Depth, Tile, Tile size, Rotation,
+  Repeat/Mirror, Smoothing, Edge fade, Invert, Blend and the Normal, Fast, Checker and Distortion
+  views. One motif - a ring inside a square frame - runs through all of them, because using one shape
+  everywhere is what lets two pictures be compared: whatever differs between them is the setting,
+  since nothing else is.
+- **A flat mesh of triangles**, for the settings that are about the mesh or about a tool: the paint
+  tools, brush size, the connected-area fill, subdivision, feature-adaptive refinement, remeshing,
+  hard edges, slivers and the wireframe view. These carry the one accent colour in the set, meaning
+  "painted", because that is the only thing in such a picture that is not geometry.
+- **A section**, for Midlevel and for smoothing the geometry. The reason generalises: shading reads
+  slopes, so a height field moved up or down as a whole shades identically to where it started, and
+  any setting whose meaning is *where the surface sits relative to where it was* is invisible from
+  above and has to be drawn from the side.
+- **A flat ramp of greys**, for Mix filaments, Mixed colors and Denoise. Those are about which
+  filament a spot ends up as; lighting one would only add a second thing changing between two
+  pictures meant to differ in one.
+
+The five Mapping pictures are one ball with a checker laid on it five ways, which is the whole of what
+choosing a projection does - except Unwrap, which is not a projection onto the model at all and so is
+drawn as the flat layout it produces.
+
+Captures of the real tool are still the first choice for anything involving a real model or real
+filament colour: Bake, the mixed-colour count on a photograph, Adjust placement, the frame window and
+the UV editor's seam tool have no picture yet for that reason.
+
+Either way:
+
+- Square, around 256 px (192 for an animation, where every frame ships). The tooltip is about 20 em
+  wide, so that is roughly native size on a 100% display and downscales cleanly above it. A single
+  picture is capped at 10 em tall and centred, two side by side take half the width each.
+- Neutral grey. These say what a shape does; colour in one reads as a third thing the setting does,
+  and has to work against both themes.
+- Animations loop seamlessly and stay short - 16 frames at 100 ms, under about 150 KB. They sit in
+  `resources/`, which ships with every copy of the application. A sweep driven by a cosine over the
+  frame count loops with no step, since it starts and ends at the same value and the same rate.
+- No text in the picture. Captions are translated; pixels are not.
