Hi, it seems that my build worked by fluke because I had done the qt install in that same terminal session where I tried the build. In a new terminal/session I need pass the qt5 path to CMake to make it work like this: cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.6.1-1 -DBUILD_QT5="1"...

Thanks, I will have a look at your modified stylesheet. The NaviCube code is here: https://github.com/nyholku/FreeCAD/tree/navicube but that is for 0.16 and not quite as polished as what I have on this machine. I've now ported the code to Qt5 and integrated it with 0.17 and hope to publish that in a...

This is more or less the look I'm aiming for, managed to do that by butchering the Light-blue stylesheet

Ancient thread, I know but I'm still experiencing this problem. Below my installation detail. FFIW I'm in Finland but my MacOs region is set to "United Kingdom (Custom)". Small ting but very annoying cause it makes the simple task of changing a number difficult. Is there some workaround fo...

HI, I'm happy with Light-blue stylesheet in combination with Simple01_dark icons from https://github.com/pgilfernandez/FreeCAD_iconTheme_simple About the only thing I would like to have is have a light separating bar between Combo View and the moved view area and below each tool bar. Or a slight sha...

Brilliant, just what I was looking for!

Gradually getting there [tuning the UI to work for me].

Still some little annoyances that I need to take care of but I'll start a new topic on those.

Thanks! That worked for me.

Hi, I'm using 0.17 / Qt5 version (detail below) on MacOs Yosemite / MacBook Pro. After lots of experimenting and googling I still have not solved some very basic issues: I create (sketch ) a rectangle, I pad (extrude) it to create a box. I then click one of the faces of the box and click sketch 'cre...

@peterl94 thanks, that (almost) did it! I installed Qt 5.6 like this: curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/fdfc724dd532345f5c6cdf47dc43e99654e6a5fd/Formula/qt5.rb brew install ./qt5.rb I also had to install eigen which your instructions apparently missed: brew install eig...

@sgrogan the pre-built binaries are nice but they don't work with MacOS Yosemite so I can't use them and the final goal, besides learning to use FreeCAD, is to be able to contribute something.

@f3nix,@sgrogan thanks for the -DBUILD_QT5=1 info, I will try that next
