QtPyVCP - GCodeEditor - Widget Styling - Please review and comment.

I have been working to get the QScintilla editor styled so it is a bit easier to read than the base model. I have attached a few photos of what it looks like running a program and them singling out each code. Each G, M, P, etc has it's own color. I have increased the font size and used bold face Ubuntu fonts. I kept the left gutter default background color but used a dark background in the editor column for high contrast viewing.

I may make a custom data import so that you can set styles as you see fit. We will see.

IMO, it is easier to read. It was rather challenging to make the changes.

Please review the photos and suggest anything you might see needs improvement. It takes a village...

Looks nice and easy on the eyes! Thank you.

Looks good, can you share the code?

Yes. Do you want the complete files or just the snippets?

I ask because it requires a lot of changes. One file but tons of changes. I recommend making a copy of your gcodeeditor.py file and naming it with a .old extension and install mine. It should work for you. You will have 2 new slots you can disreagrd. They will not effect your runtime.

The file is the gcodeeditor.py file. Mine has additional slots installed for other purposes. See my other posts. I have commented all the changes made. All my comments will have ### so you know which ones you need to look at.

The background color is set in your style.qss file as follows:

QsciScintilla {
qproperty-backgroundcolor: #303030;
qproperty-marginbackgroundcolor: #D9DADB;
}

If you have issues let me know.

hello, thanks for the improvements

would you like to include this changes in the codebase?

Hello,

I am not sure if it is done yet. My custom slots probably would not need to be included. With respect to that, I assume those can simply be extracted.

If everyone agrees I do not see why not. Other than making sure my code addition is efficient and clear to all who try to use it or create additional mods.

I am by no means a solid Python coder. Learning.

hehe

i'm just reading the code can be cleaned and polished

let us know when you are done

Thank you

Of course. I will. Should be a day or 2.

Nice work! Really like the color choices.
