To late, i tend to disagree on this as all caps is considered screaming on the internet.
But it has already been decided so i will shut up now !

I agree Tommy, but the man has done such a nice job with the rest of the GUI, we have to let him have it his way

I did try MonoKrom, which I think looks best and might help people pronounce it correctly...

thankyou Kurt
I like that.
if others agree make it the final.
Cheers,
Pinder

When you put it that way, i wonder what was i on about?
I agree, he has done a great job, so i am all for leaving the name in all caps.
This has gone from a drawing to reality so fast thanks to you all that i wonder what would Brenda think if she saw this as i did try to explain this exact thing to her but she insisted on drama and ended up killing a very nice project.
Ahhh, old times !

I was hopping we could leave Brenda out of this, but it was inevitable :laugh:

LOL

So some feedback.

The Cut parameters drop down needs to display the material name, not just the number.

I Know you want to keep true to a monokrom screen but when I looked at best practice for HMI controls, it said that colour and other features should be used to draw the eye to a problem. So if it were possible, I would like to suggest that a section of the screen be allowed one different colour combination to highlight problems and errors. My press brake has one single status line that turns red when in an error state (estop, on limit etc) is present. I would suggest something similar but for this GUI, I think red background with white text would draw the eye very effectively. It would be great if all the annoying popups that Linuxcnc raises on errors could be captured and constrained to a single fixed area of the screen.

I'm not sure if linuxcnc can be tamed in this way.

And yes I agree that its amazing whats been done so quickly and it just shows how powerful group projects become.

Can we get a cool little animated paper clip to bounce around the screen and periodically offer help and tips and tricks?! :laugh:
