Re: [LinkStage3][UI] Vertical UI for large screens (4K)

The ModernUI has only been a bad thing from my perspective. Dual monitors works perfectly using 0.19 but when I go to LinkStage I get crashes and the only way I can use it is to drag all my panels back to the main screen. There's no way I'm going to go back and forth doing this. I wish realthunder would just make his own config files.

When was the last time you checked? As mentioned before, he did make his own config files and they should be right there in you default FreeCAD config directory:
link.user.cfg
link.system.cfg

OK, that's confusing. I thought the panel placement was stored in the config files but I get interaction in screen setups between 0.19 and Link. I'll have to go and check that again.

Okay, so even though Persistent Toolbars writes config to link.user.cfg, FreeCADLink does not load it.

Tried with a fresh install and cleared the registry keys, that information in the cfg is just not loaded. Only after re-applying the registry keys the toolbars appear in their intended spots.

The toolbars and Main Window are handled differently.

I looked and your correct, the Link config files are there. I guess all this makes since if the data is stored in the Reg.

I have taken this over-complicated post down, as I'm working on a simplified versions that is easy to install for all.

Updated to the latest version of turn211's ProDark stylesheet. [04-03-2021]
Fixed a dropdown margin bug.

At some point need to fork turn211's github, but as far as there's not much interest in this sidebar stylesheet, I'll attach to my replies.
