I would like to share my Work In progress Screenset.
My goal is having a screenset without the job panel, and optimized for a touchscreen. The touchscreen I use is a 14 inch 16:9 display.... The elements' size are ok ... but I have small fingers. I guest a 15 or even a 17 inches monitor should be better.
So, I remove all up/down boxes as far as I find them not "touchscreen friendly" at all. I probably get them back when I would find a way to cutomize their behavor (and their ugly look
) : i think about having the down/minus on the left of the textbox, and the up/plus on the right.Furthermore, the screenset is adapted to my CNC : a 3 axis + 1 (rotary) + a laser
Then, here are some screenshot of the actual state
The main screen

As I use a VFD connected through a RS485 link, I rewrite the communication plugin to allow to get some status LED when the COM port is opened, and when the VFD communication is OK. I also add the ability to configure the plugin parameters through fields and buttons. So, in the next step, I will add these setting in the "settings/spindle" panel
Somes settings screens
- Settings - General
- Settings - IOSetup
- Settings - Display
I've also changed the way to display the help panels:
The texts are got from text files : so it is easy to all new help / remainder for example the user macros, or any other help messages
- Help 1
- Help 2
The next big work is the probe panel ... stay tuned
