Mach Screens / Question: Some minor GUI irregularities or quirks

« on: March 20, 2009, 12:39:20 AM »

I'm new, but have dealt with other customizable CNC controller interfaces and I have a few questions:

- Using the Screen4 designer I cannot get the DRO text to center with a border. It looks like the edge of the numbers are cut off (sitting right on the DRO box bottom), is there a way to control text height?
- The DRO has a shadow even when the color is the same as the background, any way to get rid of that (to make the readout flat)?
- Is it possible to eliminate some of all the top menu (pull-down) options, or to completely remove the top menu (hide it)?
- I assume the .\mach3\splash.bmp can be changed to be whatever we want (will try that), can it be an animated GIF or BMP as well?
- Can transparent images be utilized to make "Vista-like" effects on the screens?
- Can the whole GUI be border-less or theater-mode for us to design everything on the GUI?
- Can a button be made to exit the program (I would guess YES)?
- Any way to change Mach3 screenSET fonts with the Screen4 designer?

Thank you all for a great user experience and strong CNC controller.
