Re: [Kicad-developers] KiCad 5 release announcement update

You guys may want to fix the announcement on the website: http://kicad-pcb.org/blog/2018/07/KiCad-5--a-new-generation/ That is NOT how you spell simulation! Packaging Changes In regard to packaging the KiCad binaries, not a lot has changed. You should mostly be able to bump the package version,

Hi John, Sorry to send you on a goose chase; I should have mentioned in the commit notes that the checkbox moves to the Render tab to be consistent with PcbNew: You can also change the colour there…. Cheers, Jeff. > On 26 Jul 2018, at 18:51, John Gehrig wrote: > > Reference images

[Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Gerbview Worksheet Display Setting

Hi everyone, I noticed recently that worksheets are now displayed in the Gerbview GAL rendering engine. It appears this behavior was added to GAL in the following commit: https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-source-mirror/commit/9a228d8e

Re: [Kicad-developers] Board setup icon

Hi Andrey, I am inclined to agree, but the priority for me is to get *an* icon there what doesn't overload an exciting metaphor, and wire it in to the relevant places in the code. The icon can be further modified. With respect to the options icons, you could do something like the attached?

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] Op-amp symbol icons

I actually agree that 6a looks better on it’s own, but 6b matches the DeMorgan icons better. (Of course we could always update those to match the opamp….) Cheers, Jeff. > On 26 Jul 2018, at 17:37, Wayne Stambaugh wrote: > > Maybe it's my old eyes but 6a looks better to me. 6b seems a bit >

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] Op-amp symbol icons

Maybe it's my old eyes but 6a looks better to me. 6b seems a bit crowded with the additional line thickness. I can live with it either way. On 7/26/2018 5:26 AM, Jeff Young wrote: > 6B is my new fave. > >> > > > > ___ > Mailing list:

Re: [Kicad-developers] Patch to draw bitmaps in GAL canvases

I know nothing about kicad's GAL, but I'd use one rectangle and give it a texture that is the bitmap. It's been too long since I've messed with it for me to provide an example, but maybe something like this page would help? https://open.gl/textures On 7/26/2018 5:46 AM, jp charras wrote: Hi,

[Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Rename lang_catalan and lang_chinese SVGs

Hi, The SVGs for Catalan and Chinese did not match the XPM constant names, so there were linking errors. I'm not sure how this hasn't been causing breakages since 7841f8a466, but presumably it only breaks if you have MAINTAIN_PNGs on *and* clean something in a way most people don't, as the old

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] Op-amp symbol icons

Hello, sharp 1px or 2px lines cause icon to look sharp (obviously). This does not normally lead to a pleasant GUI experience unless we consider a GUI from the 90s. According the the overall style chosen it might be a good idea to add a a second line next to the 1px (2px) line of a much lower (or

[Kicad-developers] Patch to draw bitmaps in GAL canvases

Hi, GAL gurus, I wrote this fix that add the code to draw bitmaps that can be used in page layout editor and eeschema. (Currently, this code is missing, and bitmaps used in page layout are shown in legacy canvas, but not in GAL canvases) I need a GAL guru to verify this patch (I am not a

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] Op-amp symbol icons

OK, that is style 6. Note that the opamp is a bit taller in 6B. This is because the versions with the 2px output lead have the body 0.5px lower to keep alignment. The alternative remedy is 6D, where the - is moved down 1px. Cheers, John On Thu, Jul 26, 2018 at 9:58 AM, Andrey Kuznetsov wrote:

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] Op-amp symbol icons

Hi John, Most other icons use a heavier pen width (see the DeMorgan symbols, pin graphics, etc.), which would favour the B column. I like the wider stance of the input pins in row 4. BTW, the new black-and-white 16x16 icons for the dialog buttons also suffer from slight blurryness. I don’t
