Santini. I'll post a few pics.
It's late, you're tired and must have forgotten.
Hello,
The time has come to finally Beta release the screenset that Mr Bean and myself have developed over the last few weeks.
More details and screenshots here
MachSupport Forum
It's in a new thread as we hope to capture as much feedback on this specific screenset in one place.
A few notes beforehand. This screenset follows the layout of the standard screen supplied with Mach3 as close as possible. The idea for this set was to provide a set that was hopefully cosmetically more pleasing for our own personal use and share this with fellow Mach users out there. It's not a radical leap into optimizing screen layout.
The screen is designed for 1024 * 768 resolution, however latest development releases of Mach3 have a Hi-Res feature that will allow this screen to be used at higher resolutions with a much higher clarity than previously was available in Mach3.
Its true to say that the way the set is constructed allows a lot of flexibility in colour schemes.. These may come next depending on the level of interest.
Please feel free to download the installer program. (Obviously we have tested this but backup any Mach folders first !)
The installer also includes an uninstaller so you can be assured any trace of the screenset is removed after evaluation.
This can be downloaded from :-
InsomniaX
At this stage the hotkeys are still being worked through.
Bugs and feedback appreciated.

Files MUST be copied into the Mach3 installed folder.... or it doesn't look pretty!!
Randy,
Can you expand what you mean. We have had a few people try the installer without any problems at all.
The installer will automatically create the folder and files if the correct Mach3 location is specified at root level.
Dont get depressed at the lack of comments guys, I have found these days the threads move down the list so fast that its hard to keep track of anything. Youll also find that its an effort for people to type any aknowlegement to the hard work you put in. (For Free)

I loaded them and it works good and works well, installer was all automatic.
Joe,
Thanks for the feedback. We are pleased you like it. How about a Custom one specific to Joe2000 built machines
Which actually reminds me I really did want to build one of those sometime...
Well, the downloads of the 1st screen have been in excess of 100 which was impressive. The comments or lack of not that great but thats life....
The fact that Art is actually giving the screen a runout is quite rewarding..
To compliment the original release, Mr Bean has done the jiggery on his photoshop layers and a darker background version has been released simply titled MachBlue.
Download from link below.

Cheers

I will try the dark blue in a little bit, I'm making a prototype of a dust skirt for my machine now, as soon as finished in about 1 min. lol I will try it out, I like the way the dark blue looks, I like the toolpath, but it has no jog, and i like to control feedrate %, depending on what i'm cutting.
