Creating a modified gmoccapy screen

I have modified the gmoccapy glade file to make a revised UI to suit my particular taste. By commenting out some code in the gmoccapy python file and replacing the original files with my glade and python files, it is working. However, I would prefer it had it's own space and leave gmoccapy unmolested. To do this, I made copies of the share/gmoccapy and bin/gmoccapy and lib/python/gmoccapy directories and gave them a new name (silverdragon) This is all in the ~/linuxcnc-dev folder as I switched to RIP and uninstalled the deb version. I grepped for all occurances of the word gmoccapy and replaced them with silverdragon, except for comments and print statements. (all attributions remain in place) I can't figure what else needs to be modified and have attached the error window that comes up. Seems like it might be related to a spindle module in HAL?? What I would (should) really like to do, is get this working with gscreen but that is another whole can of worms. Using 2.8.0~pre1. Any suggestions on what to try next?

umm..... never mind. I made it work by restoring the spindle_sim.hal to its original form and changing one line from the python file back to it's original form. It even works when I place the python and glade files in the system directories, ie. /usr/bin and /usr/share. Next step is to move it onto the machine that actually controls the CNC.

It's not that hard to make a simple screen.
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/gui/gscreen.h..._sheet_custom_screen

It takes a lot of experience to make a full featured screen.

I'm not at my computer now but I posted a screenshot at forum.linuxcnc.org/41-guis/33949-possibi...-good-or-the-bad-way I got the above error because I tried to create a HAL component called silverdragon. When I put it back to gmoccapy, it worked fine.

Here is my try of modifying gmoccapy github.com/fixerslo/Promoccapy
It is practically unusable without any real hardware, but you might get some ideas there. The code is ugly, some crazy tricks here and there, but it is fully functional. I am using it on a real machine now.
