Hi Jozef, sorry no there is not currently any way to move the center point of the split view.

You can change the names of the views if you like though, the names come from a file named EnglishStrings.txt which is in the UI subdirectory inside the main MoI installation directory.

Inside there starting on line 17 is where the text for the view tabs on the bottom toolbar is defined, it currently looks like this:

Split=Split
Top=Top
Bottom=Bottom
Front=Front
Back=Back
Right=Right
Left=Left
3D=3D

If you change the text on the right hand side of the equal sign then that will modify the text in the view tabs.

The viewport titles are in a separate section, at line 1414:

; View labels in the upper-left corner of a viewport.
TopViewLabel=Top
BottomViewLabel=Bottom
LeftViewLabel=Left
RightViewLabel=Right
FrontViewLabel=Front
BackViewLabel=Back
3DViewLabel=3D

Also it is possible to relocate the ortho views to a different location by setting up a construction plane using View > CPlane.

But that will relocate all of the top, front, and side views together to a new frame of reference.

Thank you Michael.
I will make an alternative EnglishStrings.txt and switch between standard and modified one, it's fine, I can leave with it :-)
