Re: [Kicad-developers] Fwd: Right to use KiCad name / logo

Hi everyone! Glad to see Hilary reached out. Have been talking with her about CERN logos, KiCad activities and ensuring everything is on the up-and-up for donations. Happy to discuss other ideas on how to fundraise in the future and build community, please feel free to contact me off thread. If

Re: [Kicad-developers] Kicad looks on high res monitor

Fabrizio, We are aware of the issue but it will not be addressed for v5. Chris' fix was a stop gap measure until we can implement something better. As of right now, wxWidgets doesn't support drawing buttons with SVG so we will most likely have to provide multiple bitmap sizes for each image.

According to this documentation, wxPython versions can be defined by: wx-VERSION [-PORT-CHARTYPE [-FLAVOUR]] VERSION: By default this will be just the first two components of the VersionNumbers, (or the first three in an "unstable" release series) but the version selection code will support

Re: [Kicad-developers] Fwd: Right to use KiCad name / logo

On a practical note, the bigger the profile of KiCad gets, the more likely some a-hole tries to trademark kicad out from under the project for their own perceived benefit (Or just simply to be an a-hole).  It happens. So it's probably a good idea to get the trademark just to protect the

[Kicad-developers] Fwd: Right to use KiCad name / logo

Please take a look at the inquiry below that I received from CERN about using the KiCad logo for merchandising and trademark questions. I have included my response to the inquiry. Does anyone else have any objections or any knowledge of KiCad being a registered trademark? Cheers, Wayne

[Kicad-developers] Kicad looks on high res monitor

Hello, I had the change to test the latest kicad on a 3k 15" monitor and the result is not very good. With a high res monitor, current kicad toolbar icons (and other elements like layer selecting checkpoints) are painfully small and when scaled at X2, for instnace, the overall KiCad app looks is
