Thanks John, that's what I thought. Yes, I noticed that the top menu items are the same on all tabs. That’s why I decided to ask you, since I wasn’t completely sure myself))))

Hi John! Need your help! I ran into a problem: in the style sheet I made a style for buttons, I showed it in the video. That is, in the style there are different settings, but the main one is using an image as a button background! So I do absolutely the same thing for other buttons, that is, I apply the same style to other buttons and it does not work, or rather it works, but not quite correctly: in the video you can see that the button is not displayed. And when you hover over it, it applies the :hover and :pressed style, but the button inactivity style is not applied)))) what could be wrong? I attached the archive!

I don't see a .qss file in there so can't tell what's wrong. Oh I see you used the mainwindow stylesheet which I never do. It's probably a typo somewhere in your stylesheet.

I se a .qss file and add it to the ini file as per the manual. Take a look at some of the example stylesheets. I use the Flex QSS program to generate stylesheets.

For some reason unknown to me I can't view your files.

Ok the files just opened for me, I see you have a resource defined in the mainwindow, not sure if that interferes with Flex resource or not I don't use that.

I use the Flex Resource builder to create my resource files.

Just did a test and if you have an image as the background image then color does nothing. Background color does change when you apply different colors to different states.

QPushButton {
	min-height: 80px;
	min-width: 80px;
	margin: 2px;
	background-position: center;
	background-origin: content;
	background-clip: padding;
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-image: url(:up_arrow.png);
	background-color: #0000ff;
}

QPushButton:hover {
	background-color: #aaff7f;
}

QPushButton:pressed {
	background-color: #ff0000;
}

QPushButton:disabled {
	background-color: #2c2c2c;

}

In the image I'm pressing the button with the mouse, note mouse states don't work on a touch screen.

QPushButton {
    min-height: 100px;
    min-width: 100px;
    margin: 2px;
    background-position: center;
    background-origin: content;
    background-clip: padding;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-color: #0000ff;
}

QPushButton#up_button {
    background-image: url(:up_arrow.png);
}

QPushButton#down_button {
    background-image: url(:down_arrow.png);
}

QPushButton:hover {
    background-color: #aaff7f;
}

QPushButton:pressed {
    background-color: #ff0000;
}

QPushButton:disabled {
    background-color: #2c2c2c;

}

I cannot thank you enough for doing all of this work for the FLexible GUI. I have been playing with it for a few days and it is very simple to create what you want visually.

That said, I have a question. I am setting up a Jog screen for use with a touchscreen monitor and cannot figure out how to make it so you can hold the on-screen jog button in a pressed state for continuous jogging. You can do it with a mouse, holding the mouse button down, but just holding your finger on the screen doesn't have the same effect.

I will say that I am experimenting with this in a virtual machine on my Windows PC using a simulated CNC machine. I don't currently have a touchsceen for the RPi I'll be using for LinuxCNC. Maybe that has something to do with it.

If anyone can help it would be appreciated.

The jog buttons work as expected and the axis jogs as long as I'm touching the button on my touch screen on my BP and they work in Debian with a simulator. I'm assuming you're using jog plus minus joint buttons such as jog_plus_pb_0 for the X axis and Continuous is selected.

Feedback is what keeps me going!

Thanks JT. Maybe it is because I'm doing it right now in a virtual machine. i've been shopping for a touchscreen to buy and will accelerate my choice so that we can put this to bed. I'll let you know what I find.

Thanks again for all the work you have put into this, and also for the youtube video instruction on how to do things. It is fantastic!!!
