9 Screens Complete Screen Mach Soft Light
Complete screen as the standard Mach with a added shuttle page and still included the tab shuttle.
Low level soft colors
Standard Mach screen with a Shuttle page.
Here is just a few pictures of the screens to get the idea but there are 9 screens and as well the Shuttle Tab page.
To download this screen it is in a zip file below the last picture ;)

Great looking screenset there. ;D
Do you consider this to be fully functional now? If so I may switch over tonight and try it.
Any plans on one for Lathe?

Thanks David,
It's been put to the test ;D
I'm slowly releasing these all these screens that I have been working on (wish Jetcam had the new screen designer ready ;D make things easer),
I figured I'd start out with the more simply changed screens and work up to the fully overhauled screens ;D
I'll upload some lathe screens soon.

As usual, Good job Jason. ;)

Thanks Brett ;D

Hi Jason,
I've been lurking on this topic for awhile... waiting for some screens to mature before diving in.
I don't know if the topic has been covered elsewhere, but was wondering about hotkey assignments for those of us that have added a homebrew pendant.
In my case, currently using KeyGrabber and a dual analog joystick gamepad. I have hotkeys for jog controls on the tab shuttle page, and program control hotkeys on the "Program Run" page. I know Brett is in much the same boat, since I followed his lead. ;o)
Thanks,

Hi again Jason,
Just realized this is a regular .set, thought it was Flash coming from you... duhh!
The .zip file has Page 1~8 graphics. Is there supposed to be a Page 9, and maybe Page 50? Tab brings up the shuttle screen without background graphics. The "SHUTTLE/JOG" button is hidden if the taskbar is not on Autohide. Auto Screen Enlarge does solve that issue.
The fonts on the buttons are a bit difficult to read on a 1024x768, 17" monitor. They look great at your 2133x1600 resolution. I resized my set down to 1024x768 and it seems to help.

Thanks Paul for the feed back, sorry about the delay I've been out of town.
I had thought if I set the resolution very high to 2133X1600 things would be clearer, I bet %90 of people out there have 1024X768 screen resolution I can change that in the this screen set if it will make things crisp.

Hi Jason,
Even at 1024x768 I get some text "scrunching" since the viewable area is less than 768 pixels high. It may work better if the vertical pixel count is the same as viewable area... maybe with or without the taskbar visible?
I tried to nudge the "LINE:" text box on the "Program Run" page over to the left 4 pixels in Screen4, so it would line up with the outline backdrop. When I opened in Mach3, there were element layer problems with some buttons obscurred and some not clickable. I use an older version of Screen4 without scrolling, since the scrolling version scrambles element position when scrolling is used.
On the Jog Control window... the Up ) and Dn( buttons seem to be redundant. The arrow buttons below seem to do the same thing. Also... my anal mind wants to arrange the "Button Jog" direction buttons in a symetrical grid. ;o)
Thanks,
Paul, Central OR

I see what you’re saying, I’ll try exporting it again, I used screen 4 to assemble it and followed the default Mach dimensions. I would post the raw files but I constructed it in flash and exported as a JPG :(
-
I am very aware that you blokes are way way ahead of me in the advanced screen design business however this is what I did.
My needs are for a screenset to run on a 800 x 600 touch screen but what I did is made the screenset 790 x 520
This means there is no "scrunching" of my layout when displayed with standard windows bars top and bottom
Trial and error came up with the 790 x 520 dimensions that worked in my situation.
For other reasons I do not want "Auto Screen Enlarge" turned off but I also don't want it scrunching or stretching my standard screen pages.

Hey Greg thanks for the research for screen sizing...its hard to do. Depending if a person has the taskbar resized or hidden always plays havoc with sizing...I have a new screen that I've taken you advise with. Trying to finish up the Flash development so we don’t have to worry about screen resolution or sizing. Thanks

nice screen!
the extra tab at the bottom for jogging is great. when i use the buttons for jogging, i get no movement. the mpg works . do i have to select a hotkey for this?
thanks

i really like the screens and have tried to download them and it seems that they down load ok but when i load them into mach 3 and the try nto run them almost everything on the screen is missing the dros are there and afew outher items but thats about all . now i am sure ive probaly done something wrong somwere so if you coud please kind of give me a idea it would be greatly appreciated thank you dusty

Look in the plug-ins section in downloads and download and install the flash plug-in. Once you do this, you may have to go to Func. config, config plug ins and enable it......... can't remember. Also, make sure you extract any files you need to to the Mach3 folder.

Acualy this is a native Mach screen.
Check to see that the folder "Mach softLight" is located in C:\Mach3\Bitmaps\Mach softLight
-
Really a very nice screen set. GOOD WORK!
On the jog shuttle where the graphics don't all appear. Has this been corrected yet or am I just stupid and missed something.
-
Hi blackrat6355,
Thanks for the positive feedback...yep I see how that could happen...here is .Set file...thats all you need to update.
-

-

Thanks

I already have it installed and have been using it for weeks its just that screen I cannot seem to bring up , thank you for your help Zealous
-
Hi Zicha,
Sorry about that misunderstood :)
There is a button in the bottom middle, below "Status" to get to the "Onscreen jog" screen.
Thanks
-
Got it thanks , the reason I didn't see it was that I am running 1024 x 768 resolution and it was 90% hidden at the botton , also why does the GO TO and GO TO Z work backwards compared to the normal program screen
Out of all the mach screens tried I like using this one by far the best ( softlights )
-
Zealous A lathe screen like this one would really be the bonus .......................... :P
-
Thank you! ;D
Working on a lathe screen now and the many fixes I need to do for the other screens on the forum.
I will make those fixes.
