My custom designed GUI

@ JT - Yes it is in the python file. I am uploading my project. In the bin folder is the python file craftsmancnc. In init it iterates through the screens and through each screens widgets and sets the sizes to scale.

I am sure that my Python can be tidied up a lot as I am a Delphi programmer and this was my first Python project. What a learning curve :silly:

@Norbert and emcPT here is the project - please note that to run this you will need to run the gladevcp_update in the pymodules folder and your original gladevcp files and folders will be renamed to ???-Ver1 so you can reset them after playing around with this.

Oops...look like file is to big to attach....here is a link craftsmancnc.zip

The mach cross over crowd should be happy with that ! nice job.

What specifically did you do to gremlin?

You can also build a similar screen idea (placing gladevcp objects on top of a painted background) with less programming.
It's a pain to place the objects as you can't see the background and if you resize it the objects, they are not scaled right, so there are limitations.

I assume with event boxes for buttons you don't get nice button movements ?

Why?

My SWAG is you have a permission problem with the craftsmancnc.hal file. My second SWAG is somehow it is "owned" by root and not you.

Right click on the file and look at the permissions tab to see who the owner is.

Hi BigJohnT.

I check that you say, iḿ the administrator and have Read/Write permissions in all.
Dont know what more to do.
Many thanks otherwise.
