You have a good point. I noticed there are buttons (plus, minus, 25%, 50%, 100%) specifically for rapid rates, which begs the question, why does the default layout include the override button, but no buttons to actually effect the rapid rate?

Right next to JOG x100. It's labeled "RAPID OVER"

Here is a mostly complete preview of the VCP screen I'm working on.

The top image in my post immediately above was made using Inkscape. I even tried hand coding an SVG, and it had the same effect of not being color accurate.


<svg width="64" height="64" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<defs>
<linearGradient id="gradient_1" x1="0" x2="0" y1="0 ...

It took some time, but I was able to offset my gradient colors to look correct in VCP!

This image is using my original colors of #26C180 and #009873 for the SINGLE BLOCK button

I was able to achieve the intended visual look by switching to #058837 and #00502c to ...

The presence or absence of the LED doesn't seem to affect the color appearance. After trying Illustrator, Inkscape, as well as a hand coded SVG in notepad, it seems to be VCPs handling of gradient fills that is misrepresenting the colors. I've seen a few examples with gradients in this thread, i'm ...

The "cycle cancel" and "tool check" are stock buttons, I only replaced the "single block" button to test. The strange things is, both the stock buttons look the same in VCP, and a browser, but my custom one does not.

You got me thinking, so I tested out a button to make sure. While it looks correct, the color is way off, so that's something I'll need to figure out.


It looks color correct in Illustrator and in a browser (Edge), so CNC12 is doing something with the color profile.

I should clarify. As you pointed out, that is the symbol for "power", but it was not the intended focus. I merely used that symbol to give a visual impression of how labeling on the buttons would appear. My intent was to gather feedback on the button shapes themselves, as I like them all, but would ...

The symbol isn't really intended to be anything in particular, I just put something on them, as when empty they look...off (like a keyboard with no letters).

I am using Illustrator. Any specific style stand out to you? From left to right:
1. Flat keyboard key
2. Candy style
3. Apple style Keyboard ...
