Glass

[OficineRobotica]

Above there was a comment about a Glass++ to come, so maybe all this is already going to be developed another way. Otherwise, if there is any interest in having this modified version, let me know.

Realthundr's code for the overlay interface is really cool and has allot of features but I guess it will be long till we will see it in master. In my humble opinion Glass will be relevant still for some time so any improvement to the code is really welcomed. Just a simple user here. Thank you devs for your work

I edited the previous post and attached the modified version of GlassGui.py.

wait, would it also be possible to make FreeCAD's viewport itself transparent (and the other properties/task windows too ) ? that way you can see your blurred desktop in the background. Basically like glasscord https://i.redd.it/5ac4ngqf67r41.png
I mean it's all the rage these days lol. Is it practical ? Who cares it looks awesome, amirite ?

Right now that's too much for me, I'm just starting with programming. But maybe sometime in the future I could try to do that, but probably someone will have it done before

mmm... nobody have asked how to start glass yet with a laptop that doesn't have a numeric keyboard?
Which key is it? help. this is 2 years i'm trying ctrl+1. Or maybe it's because I have a french keyboard?
-> why not add it out in view menu now?

Am I missing something? Wasn't Q+1 keyboard shortcut to start Glass? Anyway...it can be set in the Glass.py file.

Had forgot one line to a stop timer.

Thanks you so much.

I tried the crystal mode but as I am starting in scripting with Python I was very bothered by the tree overlaping over the text on FCmacro-Editor, now I can use it as is expected.

After that, I made some minor improvements to it, so maybe you want to update it again. Fixed some small bugs.
In pararel, I also made a version which includes a transparent Report View on the bottom of the Tree view. I prefer it this way, so the Report view won't bother me poping up all the time and it won't take so much space on the screen. Maybe you want to try this one also. There is a print screen on the original post, and both v3 updated files.

I am having an issue with the tree autohiding unless I put the mouse directly over it. Also, the tree is very short and I have to scroll through it.
I installed Glass through the addon manager.

I would attach an image but I don't have time right now to jump through those hoops.
