Change backgroundcolor of TreeView

Is it possible to change just the white backgroundcolor of the TreeView and the property view to a light grey without changing the whole theme? I want to include some screenshots in a pdf, and a color different from the white background would be appreciated.

Re: External geometry (or alternative) best practices?

This could be a good application for a master sketch: tha master has just the square outline. You reference it from a sketch where you later delete some geometry, replace linmes by arcs, ar add new things. The other sketch also references the master, which must be simple enough to not receive struct...

Feature request: Remove Torus from Part workbenchs Solids toolbar

Would it be sensible to remove the Torus from the Part toolbar? It is very rarely used and is still available with the other primitives such as Ellipsoid, Prism, etc. via Part Primitives . It could of course remain available in the menu, where we may consider to add for consistency reasons the ellip...

Re: Rotation about LCS and Dataplanes

It's still unclear to me what you want. If you would rotate the existing sketch around the shortest edge, then the whole edge would move out of place due to the external geometry which it has. Sidenote: You should use there the sketch edge rather than the generated pad. If you want to keep that shor...

Re: Equal constraint can't be applied to mirrored slot arcs right away

Looks like a bug. And I would say you are experienced enough to not have done other fancy things to the sketch. You may upload the file anyway.

Re: Rotation about LCS and Dataplanes

You don't need a LCS to rotate a sketch and even worse, you cannot rotate a sketch around a LCS, which is attached to the sketch itself, that would cause a cyclic dependency.

Solution: Delete the LCS, rotate the sketch directly.

Re: Problem with trimming custom helical thread

Better ask here right away. You should let the helix go further up and add the last groove later. For a better runout add another angled helix at the top. To use the helices inside of a body, use always a ShapeBinder or - in this case, where you combine multiple objects - a SubShapeBinder. SnipScree...

Re: Neue CPU? Benötige mal einen Vergleich an einem STL-Modell

das ist eine interessante messung, demnach ist 0.22 schneller als 0.21 Auf einem Rechner laufen so viele Prozesse, dass ich das bei diesem kleinen Unterschied erst nach einem ganzen Haufen von Messungen zu sagen wagen würde. Wenn aus 0.22 die 1.0 wird, ist zu befürchten, dass die Performance noch m...

Re: Is it intentional that LinearPattern's "occurences" parameter includes the original features but the "length" doesn'

Perhaps it would make sense to make the documentation clearer I updated the docs. It says now Specify the Length from the start of the first occurrence to the start of the last occurrence. It would be even more precise to say Specify the Length from an arbitrary point of the first occurrence to the...
