A Widescreen Blender-Style Interface

So i have a copy of linuxcnc running that i am playing around with how to i get the updates to test out your UI?
Sorry if this is answered elsewhere in the thread.

After mocking the run menu very roughly in qtvcp, I find the gcode editor may be too narrow to see a lot of the code, forcing one to scroll. i wonder if moving the editor above the graphics and putting the graphics on the far left would help in that regard?

I just gave some more thought to the number of digits. 10 is too many.
It makes it harder to read, and the extra digits tell you how many atoms there are on the part. They add noise, not information.

So, why not move the ABS / REL and mm / inch displays inside the box. That keeps the aspect ratio and gives more information.

Sorry for the delayed response.

Aaroncnc, currently, it's just a design I am going to release as a proposal.

Andypugh, I have you covered. There's a Mantissa setting in the Settings menu : )
(The Jog Increments may match the Grid Sizes in a later version, if anyone wants more settings. "Pathmatic" is just a dummy plug-in name.)



Chris Mmorley, Is this better?
I had planned to add Copy/Paste/Keys, as well.

I reworked the Machine Menu. Expanded spindle controls remain.
* Added StepConf button.
* Removed/Deferred Screw/Pulley Calculator to StepConf
* Larger Jog Test Buttons.
* Added Axis Type Radio Button

Hi Brenda,

Short question. I have no experience with blender style. Is it possible to download some old project file's?
Then i can evaluate the difference in code related to the "normal" linuxcnc screen's.
I am curious about the advantage of blender style...
