My custom designed GUI

That was easy, Thank you!
It is too big to upload here, so I put it up here: engr3131.weebly.com/craftsmancnc.html
Hope that is OK.

File downloaded. Many thanks for taking the time to respond, and for sharing your working installation!

Absolutely! Let us know how it goes. Best of luck Rick!

If I may dredge up an old thread, has anyone actually got this successfully installed and running? It's kinda running but there are problems I cannot resolve on my own. For example, the screen does not rescale and it complains about expecting ints and getting floats when jogging. If anyone is still interested in pursuing this, I'd like to participate otherwise I have to give up on it. Thanks.

I would look at hazzy... It is a lot further than this..

The author certainly put some time, effort, and ingenuity into the Craftsman UI, but I spent a good deal of time trying to make it usable a while back and eventually came to the conclusion that it was not worth the effort.

If you are interested in a UI of this type, I would suggest you check out the excellent work Chris Morley's has done on QtVcp. If you were so inclined, you should be able to take the background images from Craftsman CNC and overlay QtVcp widgets to make a working interface. I think this is the the current dev branch here: github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/qt5vcp_py2

Also, as sam was kind enough to mention, you might be interested in hazzy. It allow you to rearrange the UI however you like, even on the fly, simply by dragging and dropping widgets into the display area. It is not complete yet, but it is more or less functional and I hope to be able to work on it some more soon. This is the current dev branch: github.com/KurtJacobson/hazzy/tree/GTK3
