[Kicad-developers] [PATCH/RFC] UI policy: device-independent sizes

Hi, There is a slight deficiency in our UI policy, as it is written without regard to systems having different font sizes or DPI. The sentence beginning with "Note that the font used by end users" is a nod to this possibility, but it requires the user to set their font size in a certain way to hav

I am implementing it now, just a question, what should be the logic behind micro vias? Not very familiar with those. Can they go between any number of layers, or only adjecent ones? I will treat them like buried vias currently, so that they can go between any two layers. On 2018-01-06 21:51

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Allow selecting footprints that are only silkscreen using silk layers

The Launchpad bug description has a pretty good example -- if you place the KiCad logo (from the library) on a silk layer, you can't interact with it when using high-contrast on the silk layer without this patch. But if you place it next to another component that has non-silk data (i.e. pads, etc)

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Allow selecting footprints that are only silkscreen using silk layers

The intent was to only allow selection of "components" which only exist on the silkscreen layer. It makes sense to me to be able to move these around when high-contrasting on the silkscreen layer, since they are basically just "free silkscreen" objects. On Sat, Jan 6, 2018 at 3:15 PM, Chris Pavli

Is this behavior desirable? I know some users who use the high contrast mode to prevent the disambiguation menus when editing high density boards. Wouldn't this patch make that issue worse since now you are including the silkscreen layers which will increase the probability of a disambiguation?
