Re: Modern UI
I am sorry if I have misunderstood the operation of ModernUI or have messed-up my setup, but I have been having troble trying to access e a number of macros, both via icons and keyboard shortcuts.
Customising a toolbar is possible, but it doesn't seem to be automatically picked to the ModernUI ribbon, understandable. As such the macro is not runnable via icon or shortcut. I can activate the toolbarusing View -> toolbars , I tend to locate it at the side so as not to distrupt the position of the UI ribbon, and I can access via hotkeys. However, if I leave and return to the WB the additional toobar is forgotten. Is this the expected behavior?
Many Thanks in advance for any help/pointers

Re: Modern UI
If you change wb and then return back ui only loads toolbars of wb. The other toolbars you added manually will be disappear. Because they are not the part of the wb you selected.

Re: Modern UI
After using your workbench, I found that there are two shortcomings. I wonder if it can be modified by setting.
Looks like below: Problem1:
When the display style is dark-xxx, the color of the small white bar is quite different from that of the toolbar. Can it be automatically changed to dark?
Problem2:
When the mouse moves to the top of the button or clicks the mouse, no color change of the button is found, which will give people the illusion that the button has not been successfully clicked.

Re: Modern UI
I think problem1 is about dark themes itself. I can do something for problem2.

Did you see Microsoft announce they will abandon ribbon menu to be replaced by a more modern interface?HakanSeven12 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 5:04 pm Not now. I don't have a computer now a days. Maybe a month later.
Maybe in a month you'll have to rename your workbench as being "Legacy UI".

Re: Modern UI
This looks like a very useful addition to FreeCAD, but I cannot get it installed, for some reason. Does this conflict with any other workbenches? Is there anything I need to remove before installing this one? Thanks so much. -- Allan
Re: Modern UI
Your first post, welcome to FreeCAD.
Honestly though, if you are new to FreeCAD the best advice is to start by learning the basics with as much left to default values as possible and no add-ons, until you are familiar with FreeCAD. Doing so will save you much confusion and headaches as well as making getting support easier.
It might help if you post your FreeCAD version data, the forum rules link above the Help forum shows you how to do this.allaneploth wrote: ↑Sun Aug 23, 2020 3:44 pm This looks like a very useful addition to FreeCAD, but I cannot get it installed, for some reason.
