Enterprise LCD, Global.cfg - Colors & Text Size

[Vix]

Howdy howdy!
I wanted to make a global dark theme for my SpaceMouse Enterprise's LCD screen and this is coming along quite nicely.
Although, I've hit a bit of a snag. If I supplement the <Settings> block with <TextSize>Large</TextSize> then my colors end up being mangled.

Example without TextSize large:


Example with TextSize large:

Code: Select all

On another note; is there a comprehensive explanation of which functions can be used for visual customization?
I'd like to be able to change the size of the icons of custom macros, for instance.

The text background has been fixed for the next release. Thanks for pointing it out.

There is no external documentation on the XML format. It is a moving target.
For most cases, I put the available elements into Base.xml (as you have found). You can consider it the dictionary to pull words from for your app-specific cfg.

The black background idea is excellent, can it be implemented in the official software too?
A dark theme.

I run almost all of my cad applications in dark mode and this would be very handy when working at night.
