A Widescreen Blender-Style Interface

Me too!

Holy smokes this is AWESOME LOOKING!!!!! Fantastic work you are doing!! I am following with great interest and excitement!! Can't believe I stumbled upon this by accident looking for probing information..lol blown away!

I did test to see what exporting a single button was like. Not bad...though, Inkscape has and issue that I will have to work around: Inkscape cannot stroke objects on the inside of their parameter. So, I guess, I will export each button large, and then 2 smaller sizes from the export.

I am thinking that the buttons, like web graphics, can be exported in 3 states each, up, down, and deactivated(greyed). Supporting touchescreens means no mouseovers.

I have tried to limit the number of button sizes, and control types.

When things get far enough long, I will of-course upload the inkscape .svg file somewhere. Oddly, the inkscape .svg will currently barely fit on this webforum page itself, but it will likely just grow over the limit.

Thank you Chris, still the interface design is built mostly on top of the work that many other people have contributed.

The Inkscape .svg will probably shrink as a plain .svg

SVG is cool! I made a slicer for a 3D printer where the output was an SV G and you could view it layer-by layer in any web browser just by appending slice heights as ?z=nn to the URL.

Annoyingly, I lost the code that did that.

You could potentially make your whole GUI SVG. It would make scaling to different screens easy. (but it would distort). I am pretty sure that SVG can be made "sensitive"

Should you? Now that's a different question

It's freaky to accidentally open the graphic file for the interface in a web browser.

The day CNC machines are controlled through a web interface is the day I stop machining.
