gscreen patch to go against current as of now master.

adds fullscreen (not maximize - all of it!) capability
adds an embedded terminal for call debugging programs.
adds an option to use aux coolant instead of mist or flood
this was requested by my only tester cncbasher, it requires one to connect HAL to gscreens coolant pins instead of linxcnc's
fixed save and save-as for gcode edits.
probably some other stuff

Cncbasher had a problem when first opening gscreen because of the preference file.
so here is a copy of a preference file if that happes.
name it '.gscreen_prefences' (without quotes, note the period) and put it in your home file.

here is the patch as a compressed file - alot easier

just about to take the step now of configuring without axis , for the first time , so jumping without a safety net ! ( only figuratively thank god )
but all seems to fit in well , touch screen is working fine , no difficultys selecting etc .

now a machine on togglebutton , with colour change red / green so you can see status perhaps
needs to be i think on the right side under the estop , or perhaps top left next to status .
in a similar style to the estop and led i think would suit better

I can't wait to get out to the shop and try this... way to go Chris!

Looks very nice! Where is it located? (git repo?)

look a few messages back Dan , and install against emc2-dev git repro , then rebuild
shout if your stuck

Dave

it's in git repo of my private computer.
If it proves worthwhile and functional I will incorporate in linuxcnc.
right now still experimenting, though it will run a standard machine.

I warn you - its still being developed and tested please test in a simulated config.
there are a couple hidden features that could move the machine unexpectedly.
