$this->dropdownVisual = $mngrValidator->getEccCoreKey('dropdownVisual');

ADD TO GUI > 2 rows and 2 columns with items:

Static labels (left side)

media_nb_info_perspective

media_nb_info_visual

Event boxes (right side)

GtkEventBox > nbMediaInfoStatePerspectiveEvent

GtkEventBox > nbMediaInfoStateVisualEvent

TRANSLATE GUI STATIC LABELS

Add labels to translation file

Edit file: ecc-system\translations[LANGUAGE]\i18n_meta.php, around line 90, in the META array, add:

/* 1.20 */

NOTES: Color effects are set with colEventOptionSelect1 / colEventOptionSelect2

Edit file: ecc-system\ecc.php, around line 930, add:

	// perspective

	$this->nbMediaInfoStatePerspectiveEvent->modify_bg(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, GdkColor::parse($this->colEventOptionSelect1));

	// visual
	$this->dropdownVisual = I18n::translateArray('dropdownVisual', $this->dropdownVisual);
	$this->nbMediaInfoStateVisualEvent->connect_simple_after('button-press-event', array($this, 'simpleContextMenu'), I18N::get('meta', 'lbl_visual').'?', $this->dropdownVisual, 'metaEditDirectUpdate', 'setVisual', true);
