Committed in 6486. Thank you. Apparently the "growing buttons" is an existing bug anyway, not caused by this patch, so I have no problem with this. On Thu, Jan 14, 2016 at 09:03:22PM +0100, Bernhard Stegmaier wrote: > Yes, very nice… :) > > Given that probably after this change guys like me

Swt, I've been wanting a flipped mode for a long time now. Thanks Tom! :) On Fri, Jan 15, 2016 at 05:58:41PM +0100, Tomasz Wlostowski wrote: > On 15.01.2016 00:50, Wayne Stambaugh wrote: > > On 1/14/2016 3:06 PM, Bernhard Stegmaier wrote: > >> Question for me is what happens to eeschema? >

Re: [Kicad-developers] Grid in GAL canvas

If you can resolve the growing-button issue, I'll commit this. It's a definite plus for usability, I was rather angry at my laptop this morning for not having a middle mouse button to do _exactly this_, actually. Note that I don't actually get the button issue on Linux, and I can't actually

Re: [Kicad-developers] Grid in GAL canvas

Tom, there's a minor bug with the grid color - I'd fix it myself, but I'm not familiar with the GAL stuff yet and don't want to go breaking anything. When you change the grid color while GAL is active, the grid doesn't refresh until you change the zoom level. I assume fixing that is as simple

Re: [Kicad-developers] Grid in GAL canvas

Depending on how drawing is implemented on other platforms this could cause a major performance impact. The slowness on OS X was due to the fact that the dots are not just pixels, but really rendered and antialiased content (what obviously has much more impact on a HiDPI Retina display).

Re: [Kicad-developers] Grid in GAL canvas

I suppose the grid color _is_ customizable, in all my time using KiCad I never noticed that! Everything else I said about unification stands, though. ;) On Thu, Jan 14, 2016 at 01:58:41PM -0500, Chris Pavlina wrote: > Yeah, I'll be difficult too - it looks Bad now, very distracting. The >

Re: [Kicad-developers] Grid in GAL canvas

No, I just mean using the same style in both, either way. I don't really care which, though I have a slight preference for dots myself. Minor side note: I do almost wish the dots would become something like little crosses when you zoom in. They're nice when zoomed out, but when they are spaced

Re: [Kicad-developers] Grid in GAL canvas

Yes, very nice… :) Given that probably after this change guys like me really want to change the grid color on OS X I really vote for this small patch - at least in an ifdef’d OSX-only version. I have seen nothing bad with left click in a very short test, don’t know how it is on other

patch that you can use coming in about 2 mins, aka if you click on the button it will work with either left or middle (middle will remain for the dinosaurs) On Fri, Jan 15, 2016 at 8:22 AM, Bernhard Stegmaier wrote: > And I always thought I miss the middle button only

Re: [Kicad-developers] Grid in GAL canvas

Yeah, I'll be difficult too - it looks Bad now, very distracting. The legacy grid color was meant for use with a dot grid, not a line grid, so it has to be brighter. When you use it for a line grid, it's really garish. I think that the grid color ought to be customizable like the layer colors

How do you change at all? In the “Visibles” toolbar with Render=>Grid by clicking on the small button? Nothing happens when I click there… but not only for grid, but also all the other buttons... Regards, Bernhard > On 14 Jan 2016, at 20:04, Chris Pavlina wrote: >

Re: [Kicad-developers] Grid in GAL canvas

And I always thought I miss the middle button only for not being able to pan (which I anyway do differently… another story to come). Any reasons for keeping it on middle button? At least on the “Render” tab it should be possible to use left click. On the “Layer” tab left click moves the cursor…
