Gscreen - a GTK / Glade / Python based screen

I like this screen with all the big buttons, looks great at high resolution.

What I was wondering, is there a four axis version or a way to add a, b or c or could I request that ?

Yes there is a way. You just have to make the number of axis = 4 in the ini file. The fourth axis is a rotary axis usually.
Have a look at the sim configurations and you will find a gmoccapy_4_axis.ini example.

I have been using gmoccapy 4 axis and it looks great too, but I wanted to try the gscreen reg or industrial with 4 axis,
Theres no fourth axis buttons though, so I cant home the machine from the gui.

I am running gmocappy and gscreen by adding it to my axis.ini, but the gscreen doesnt have a 4 axis demo and guessing no gui since it doesnt show up.

I am sure that Gscreen can run up to nine axis and there are examples under the gcreen sim directory.
Start with the sim example and a Stepconf configuration. After that you copy the relevant stuff from the gscreen sim to your newly created config. Make sure that you have all the sections in the ini file that is required for Gscreen.

Gscreen (the default skin) will work with up to 9 axis - it adjusts automatically to include the DRO displays and buttons.

Industrial should self adapt too, though I haven't tries it lately.

As long as the axes are defined properly in the INI file - Gscreen should adapt.

There is also a dedicated 9 axis example in the sim/gscreen/gscreen_custom folder or the sample configs.

And then Gscreen was made to be customized so anything is possible - though takes some work.

Since 2.6 has been release will Gscreen work or does it still need master?
