Modern UI

[HakanSeven12]

What is the Modern UI?
Honestly I don't like FreeCAD default UI. So I started to look for alternatives. Firstly I created a macro for collapsible docks. You can find it here: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=44659

After that I think "why I don't do something for toolbar?" and I started to search for a solution and find this repository: https://github.com/RoadrunnerWMC/PyQtRibbon

Finally I created this UI and merge them at one place

How to install?
Open 'Tools -> Addon Manager'.
Select 'Modern UI' and click 'Install/update selected'.
Restart FreeCAD.

How to uninstall?
Go to ModernUI tab.
Open 'Tools -> Addon Manager'.
Select 'Modern UI' and click 'Uninstall selected'.
Restart FreeCAD.
When you restarted you don't see any toolbar.
Create a macro.
Paste this code in to macro.

Code: Select all

from PySide2 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
mw = FreeCADGui.getMainWindow()
mw.menuBar().show()

WBList = FreeCADGui.listWorkbenches()
for WB in WBList:
    FreeCADGui.activateWorkbench(WB)
    for tb in mw.findChildren(QtWidgets.QToolBar):
        tb.show()

Execute it.
Restart FreeCAD.


Features:
Modern Docks
Modern Menu
File Menu
Recent File Manager (WIP)

Interesting, will every workbench be loaded at startup or when you click the corresponding tab? I think it would slow FreeCAD down if every workbench is loaded at once.
I really like the collapsible docks idea will these features be available separately?
