Brenda, i am sorry for that, i will go edit the above post to reflect that.
Thank you.

Hey I’m interested in working on Brenda’s proposal i don’t know anything about programming or wat half the shit on there dose but I know a programmer that can probly Handel this within a month I would be willing to fund this will take a while I ain’t rich or if we get a group of the interested people in the forums to pitch in could get faster I figure he’d probly charge around 1000-1500 depending on the complexity of the functions . from wat I’ve gathered from this thread is ur one of the many who added suggestions to this GUI the programmer will need someone to explain wat each function dose to write the code and or make adjustments to the GUI interface

Rather then code yet-another on off screen, I believe it would be better to use one of the screen building libraries to build it. Better not to divide human resource over too many libraries.

There is also a demo version included with qtvcp in 2.8 +

Wat is needed to finish the demo version
From wat I understand qtvcp is a GUI editor or libraries for building a GUI

qtvcp is infrastructure for building and running a VCP panel or screen in linuxcnc.
It has several 'demo' screens and VCP panels that are built in. The VCP panels (cam_align and sim_panel) can be embedded into other screens or used standalone.

It has a collection of prebuilt widgets and libraries tailored for CNC control and it has a python handler file for extending capabilities without needing to touch 'core' programs. This is very similar to gladeVCP's handler files. It is relatively new code so rough spots will definitely be found.

the 'Blender' demo screen can be run in a sim config from linuxcnc's selection dialog. Blender is a demo that built with the spirit of Brenda's screen - similar look general layout. It currently is a single paged screen with just enough controls to run a basic machine. It has typical bugs of new screens - the layout moves a bit when the DRO changes length, some of the buttons don't do anything, there are image files to make such as tool icons. If you want to more closely follow Brenda's design and/or add more desirable features then placement of widgets is required and possible some code added to tailor then to exactly what you want.
In a word - time
