Merge RealThunder transparancy stuff?
Hi there,
I have seen that in RealThunder's branch there seem to be very interesting transparency settings for the tree view and for the task view.
You can see how it looks in @MisterMaker screenshot here (btw MisterMaker if you can post a screenshot without the blender view in this topic?):
https://forum.freecadweb.org/download/f ... ?id=185268
I personally love how it looks compared to current combo view. My reasons :
- Tree and task boxes are shown at the same time.
- Much more view area, especially for small screens. Even though both tree and task are shown simulatenously.
- Looks better.
I can't see any downsides. Can you? What are you guys opinion on this?
I know @realthunder you must be busy with TNP. So I don't know if you have any empty spare time to make a PR on those? Alternatively I can help by cherry picking and making the PR.

Re: Merge RealThunder transparancy stuff?
Seeing Task and Tree separately is available in master, and has been for some time (...years?).
Granted not transparent. I find the transparent to be useful on small screens, 7"/10". When larger screens or multiple monitors are available, it's basically eye candy since I separate them from the 3D view.
As usual, these things are a matter of taste. And having options is good.

Yes I know we can separate them. But without transparancy it's killing the 3D view. Unless one use a big screen or multiple screens.drmacro wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 1:23 pm Seeing Task and Tree separately is available in master, and has been for some time (...years?).

I personally use a 38" monitor, so space isn't a problem for myself either. Yet this eye candy is really catchy and I'd be glad to have that out of the box.

Re: Merge RealThunder transparancy stuff?
In realthunder's branch, there is optional transparency and auto-hiding of panels. I think having both options would be a great addition to FreeCAD master. While there is technically the Glass addon by triplus there are a few key differences worth noting.
The version in Link builds allows for click-through of transparent areas (including tree, which the glass addon does not allow). It also allows the tree to be better customized through stylesheets. Many people won't use the auto-hiding stuff, however I expect the transparent tree may be rather popular.

Re: Merge RealThunder transparancy stuff?
Why is it that so many see the "eye candy" added to the Link branch as an improvement, yet many of those things have been available to merge for many months (a year or more in some cases?) and here we are still discussing them. Are there no PR's?

Re: Merge RealThunder transparancy stuff?
+1 for adding RTs transparency features (Glass addon is broken and has gotten no love at all AFAIK)

Re: Merge RealThunder transparancy stuff?
I know right, but we kinda need more people to do the work.
I am also frustrated that I am not able to do more, got a lot of idea's but not a lot of time to learn how to implement them.
Although it's not stopping me from doing it, but it's gonna take some time...
