I also noticed there's no good binary indicators in qt5's standard set of widgets, like LEDs or even a button that changes appearance on input. The only thing I've found is hal labels, but even then I think they are only actually good for displaying numeric values. If set to "bit" type input, they just display true or false. I don't see any way to make a text string appear or disappear at least. Looking for something that can just indicate a fault.

If something like this is already there just point it out, I'm good at missing things.
 

You didn't miss anything unless you looked in the last few minutes lol. I just added that feature.

Lol yeah, I noticed them in the docs and started adding them before updating the debs.....

Kinda tedious but it's getting there...

 

Kind of a bummer about the bold text thing

Looking good!

There's a note in your docs:

NoteThere is an documented issue with Qt5 Designer and bold fonts not appearing properly.

Not sure if that's referring to the same thing but normal fonts set to bold appear fine in Designer. When run the bold text is missing. I've only tried the dark-tough theme so far but this:
 

Is turning into this for me
 
 

Can't edit that post or the quotes turn to mush but I meant that that is a bold font, it shows in designer but not when run. Noto Sans Bold appears the same as Noto Sans Regular

I've recently discovered that you have to set the font-weight to 700 in the style sheet to get bold which is what I did this morning in the touch themes. The Flex QSS builder creates the correct stylesheet code for bold.

I haven't played with the qss builder but I did update to 1.1.1 this morning so it sounds like you are saying I should be seeing bold text with the dark-touch theme?

Yes you should check out the themes thread I uploaded fresh screen shots.

I'm at the point where I'm trying to integrate all of the hardware controls with the UI so I'm fixing things little by little.

Is here any way to show a selected axis label, either from motion or halui? I looked through the docs and didn't quite see anything that looked like it would work even from hal pins. Like I would need a label with multiple bit inputs and the text would be different for any input that is true. Unless there is some other way to catch this.
