- Initially, a user wanted a plugin to easily cycle base layers between OSM & Satellite.
- While it's possible to cycle layers & map themes easily in the sidebar, then wanted a simple one-click button in the UI to do this.
- Instead of developing a flaky baselayer switcher (as layers can vary so much per project), I decided to use the already existing Theme API for QField.
- Baselayers can be configured in Themes (Satellite & OpenStreetMap), then cycled using this new button.
The plugin button can be seen at the top right:
