1. Choosing colors inside CGE editor is now using a modern, cross-platform, comfortable _color picker_ dialog. To see it, simply click on “…” in the editor object inspector to adjust any color — of user interface (like `TCastleRectangleControl.Color`), or 3D stuff (like `TCastleAbstractPrimitive.Color`), of background (like `TCastleBackground.SkyTopColor`).

2. You can now easily display rendering statistics (FPS, draw calls, shapes rendered). Use the _“Edit -\> Show Statistics (F8)”_ menu item in the editor.

3. For some time now, we have a simple way to display 3D grid and axis (X,Y,Z axes) in the editor: use menu item _“Viewport -\> Show Grid And Axis”_. It’s just a simple initial implementation — in the future the grid and axis sizes should adjust better to your current view, so that they use a reasonable units, to not look too tiny/too huge in various cases.
