Wow, I just saw https://youtu.be/hl1kbGw_H1g for the first time and it mostly covers the issues I had when I first started using FreeCAD a little while ago. I even hopped on here to try and explain my thoughts of the issues I was having and in an effort to try and get a more "new user" friendly UI in another thread. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who had these thoughts as well.

Re: [19/07/21][LinkStage3][UI] Vertical UI

Hello, I have been trying to get Vertical UI up and running. So far I have only been partially successful.

I am on Windows10 with FreeCADLink installed (FreeCAD-asm3-Stable-Win64-Py3-Qt5-20210717.7)
The default FreeCAD is a fresh install of the official 0.19.2 download (FreeCAD-0.19.2.7b5e18a-win-x64)

When I proceed to the registry FreeCAD is not listed under Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FreeCAD, but rather Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FreeCAD0192. It does not have a subfolder QT15, nor any subfolder at all. I still proceeded to make the necessary backups needed. I replaced the linstage3 Stylesheets folder with VertUI Stylesheets. Restarted FreeCAD, installed PersistentToolbars and TabBar, and switched the customize menu to the workbench tab. Rebooted and added the macro for InitGui.Py.

This is as far as I proceeded. At this point the colors of FreeCAD have changed to VertUI dark theme and TabBar is working. However, in the output console there is this: " 20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/transparent.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/autohide.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/edithide.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/editshow.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/taskshow.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/mode.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/overlay.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/transparent.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/autohide.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/edithide.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/editshow.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/taskshow.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/mode.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/overlay.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/transparent.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/autohide.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/edithide.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/editshow.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/taskshow.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/mode.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/overlay.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/transparent.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/autohide.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/edithide.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/editshow.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/taskshow.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/mode.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/overlay.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/overlay.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/float.svg
20:45:37 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/close.svg
20:45:39 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/float.svg
20:45:39 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/float.svg
20:45:39 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/float.svg
20:45:39 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/float.svg
20:45:39 Cannot find icon: qss:overlay/float.svg
"

Also, when I try to change what workbenches are in TabBar all of the checkboxes are the same color as the UI box whether they are selected or not. One click in a checkbox does not change the box, however, it does remove the workbench from TabBar. One more click proceeds to change the checkbox to a white color.

Any help in fixing this would be very much appreciated.

Okay, no panic. I suppose I should've been more clear with my instructions.

Stylesheets folder was supposed to be dropped "on top" of the existing one, instead of replacing it.
Just in case if your old one - I've attached a complete Stylesheets folder that will fix your problem.

Sorry about that!

Just an aside, hopefully this whole process will get easier once chennes' PR gets merged

Oh man this instantly reminded about the old Amapi pro interface for some reason.

Very nice modern direction for the GUI

[17/10/2021] Update: Realthunder has made loading/merging/exporting configurations really easy, which simplified the installation process. New youtube video with instructions is also up.

Absolutely, I've been wanting to make a video highlighting the UI/Themes related work that you both done lately on the original FreeCAD.
Not sure how possible VertUI is on the vanilla branch.

Hello, I'm currently using the Vertical UI with LinkBranch 17/10/21, it looks really good.
However, I have some icons that don't fit in the Vertical list (on the right) in many WorkBenches. How can I fix this please?
(Like in the v1 YouTube video on VertUI and Arch WB fix)
