Allow adding new tabs at the bottom of user menu

feature
1

In the old user menu, I added a glyph and a repurposed notification panel, from which a user could easily change the theme (we have a bunch of those). I would like to do the same in the new menu, but if I add a custom menu tab via the api, it will be grouped among the notifications in the top tabs. Because it’s a user setting, I would like it to be in the bottom section with the user profile tab. Is there any chance you could add an api function for that?

As a clarification, I was using addUserMenyGlyph and creating a new widget from the QuickAccessPanel-widget. The best current replacement is to use registerUserMenuTab and create a new class from the UserMenuTab, but the new tab ends up in the middle of the notifications (not ideal, when it contains settings, not notifications). I would like to have more control over where the tab is placed in the menu.

yea i couldn’t tell from your original post if you mean the user menu or the user preferences tabs. i sort of assumed you went from the addUserMenuGlyph to using the UserMenuTab create class (if you meant the user menu) but i couldn’t see where the api inserts the tab. i’m interested to see if there is a way to solve this and control where a tab would go.

Thanks! I could probably make this work by modifying the UserMenu class, but I think it might be useful to include this in the api. Currently the custom tabs are inserted right above the other notifications tab. While exact positioning may not be feasible, there could be another insertion point above the profile tab.
