A Widescreen Blender-Style Interface

I am getting to the point where I will post all the files soon...as long as something doesn't happen to me. Though, today, I made a moderate change in the keyboard and made minor change affecting both the probe screen and lathe readouts. I would feel terrible if I posted things, and then changed them. I think that with a little patience, you will have a better outcome. For instance, today I created new readouts.

As a designer note: outputting so may graphics in multiple resolutions will be a chore, outputting several waves of conflicting version would be a nightmare.

I've made hundreds of textures before; this isn't my first rodeo.

Not counting the alternate panels that are done, as I look across the menu 7:11 of the menus are done, and the Help will just be a document.

Don't worry it will be done soon. I am losing my place to live, and I will be homeless soon. Everything's gonna be exported and uploaded by then.

What is to be done about github; they are owned by Microsoft now, the company 2nd only to Oracle for their desire to kill open source everything.

...i did make a whole new menu today. : )

Have you considered using gitlab?

I could not help but try styling your new DROs before going to bed (though it might not be worth it, its almost 1am and I have to take delivery of a shipment at 3:30, darned truck drivers ). I should mention that these are real, fully functional DROs (courtesy of Chris M).

Wow, you got out those indicators even before the paint was dry on the Inkscape file!

Oh, I wish something could be done to antialias the 3D preview. : )

With the bitmaps, I worry about memory. With plots and vectors, I worry about speed, and who's going to be able to draw a milling bit in vector.

Even if the pics were in vector, they could be sped up by creating bitmaps, so I wonder if bitmaps are the way to go.

I can just see people, taking cellphone pics of their bits, their cutting bits, and napkin sketches of their tools. I like accessible and modifiable over sophisticated.

I am going to have to drop the incremental indicator text size a bit to allow 8 characters for a tool name. They have a three digit number. If anyone has more than 999 toolbits, do complain, but first, send me some.

The promote/demote buttons need to live on the left, where they were in the beginning.

Not true for Oracle, they own MySQL and it is still free and they made some nice improvements to it.

Um, OpenOffice, the big LibreOffice spit, and there's the whole I'll sue anyone who uses Java thing.

From Wikipedia:
"The petition of 50,000+ developers and users called upon the European Commission to block approval of the acquisition. "

...But, as revealed by WikiLeaks, the US Department of Justice, at the request of Oracle, pressured the EU to approve the merger unconditionally.[73] The European Commission eventually unconditionally approved Oracle's acquisition of MySQL on 21 January 2010."

I've had friend who work for Oracle. I used to stay at a company house right next to Oracle Belmont. Still, in my opinion Oracle is not to be trusted.

In the axis gui under the 'view' menu is a setting 'Alpha-blend program'. This does some magic to make the preview look nicer...
