How can I increase the height of the top row of QtPlasmaC? 

Sure, custom stylesheets make this possible. You can change basically anything about the UI from a styling standpoint that you like.

You can create a file called qtplasmac_custom.qss in your machine config file.

Then you can add the following stanza:


Change 24px to whatever you like.

Here is the blurb from the user manual in case you find it helpful: linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/plasma/qtpl...#_add_a_custom_style

If you want to get a idea of what the names of the items are you could open up this file:

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...plasmac/qtplasmac.ui

There's also some other stuff lurking around that can be changed that you'll have to have a search on the qtvcp manuals for. The preview window mouse options, colors, etc. Most things are available at this point.

Shown at 48px for fun:

 

I have to agree, to thin even for big 24" monitors, and also add an arrow pointing down to show those are menus.

With that board the only option is this:

My advice, buy 3 or 4 of new simple TB6600 drives (the smaller ones do not use the TB6600 but a much better chip, although less powerful) and wire directly to a cut down parallel port cable.
Or get a BOB, makes wiring easier and do not cost much, but some can limit step speed somewhat.

I still stand by my removed comment.
And I'm very sorry to say but you admins are weak and spineless to allow this buffoon to carry on the way he does.
It's a shame the CoC doesn't cover giving advice to members that is completely useless, a waste of time and potentially to the point of causing harm.
But no, the main point is not to hurt anyone feelings or to cause offense.
Who is going to have the intensal fortitude and read Langdon's the riot act. I tried in the beginning to guide him in the right direction but he would appear not to care.
You admins need to take action, I'm sick to effing death in having to make his posts an issue in the hope something will be done to rectify his behaviour. Until then I will keep raising this issue, or you can just ban me. I don't care much, Ive lost faith in every single one on the Admins on this site. You aren't doing a single thing to protect other forum members, especially new ones from his nonsense. At this juncture you all disgust me.

I can only speak for myself, but I just recognize him for the bored high school student that he is. I feel bad for new people but imagine they quickly realize his replies are virtually useless and very likely the regurgitation of misguided ChatGPT responses.

I stand by my previous advice to not feed the under-bridge dwelling creatures, and ignore him until he moves on, gets himself banned, or discovers better things to do with his time. But it’s a bit pointless for us to block him as he, like you, will probably just make a new username and start over. Trust me, it’s been discussed.

You have something he does not, which is the ability to contribute meaningfully to this community (I remember the Beaglebrainz ISO’s very well). So I ask you to just ignore him, let his mindless comments stand for themselves, and don’t let it affect your integrity.
