if the size of the orientation axis is increased using interactive controls, it cannot be placed in the corner leading to lost white space. Is there any other workaround for this?

Hi, I guess you are talking about the padding of the widget to the corner of the viewport. It is just busy work to add a control widget for this. Time is tight right now but do you want to give it a shot? Here is the PR that added the widget:  
[https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/merge\_requests/5848/diffs#78ae067889f0ea632ce151136561c39d0a939d07](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/merge_requests/5848/diffs#78ae067889f0ea632ce151136561c39d0a939d07)

You have to call `setPadding` of the `vtkCameraOrientationRepresentation` object in `Remoting/Views/vtkPVRenderView.cxx`  
[https://vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkCameraOrientationRepresentation.html#a1ae55cb231f019f1d438bc1bb38e8886](https://vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkCameraOrientationRepresentation.html#a1ae55cb231f019f1d438bc1bb38e8886)

and then add a control widget in `Remoting/Views/Resources/views_and_representations.xml`
