[UI] Update all UI with the style of new modifiers and the new previewed updates

It seems that at least all new stuff in Max will be QT and will get the updated GUI style from now on as seen with the newest modifiers: Chamfer, Data Channel, Path deform etc. or the new updated parts of Max UI like the new Hotkey Editor. A very nice develops regarding the new UI style can be seen in some leaked screenshots concerning mainly the new AOV Manager and Bake to Texture manager. Also the new Retopo Modifier seems to share the style of the new modifiers as expected. Don't keep this new style only for the new stuff ! this will only add to the countless UI inconsistencies in Max. Start to update the other modifiers and the rest of the UI with this new style !

Starting with 3ds Max 2018 we have extra space on Command Panel which is finally resizable. That's good! But now let's make full use of this feature and take profit of this extra space. Let's adapt what's inside! Content should adapt to panel resize as wellRollouts should expand, List sections and all Parameters as well. The fact that new modifiers (Chamfer, Data Channel, Path Deform etc.) got this behavior and all new stuff will get this benefit doesn't comfort us too much since and it will only add to the hundreds inconsistencies of the software 

Some parts are more important than others, but everything should be updated. For ex. Skin and Morpher modifiers or the Motion Panel where we have to scroll horizontally unnecessary to see important information, make this adaptive so we can see all information! 

 

Here is an idea for that to upvote !

[UI Command Panel] Content should adapt to resize and expand as well + bug fixes
