TODO

• Check AMS for single extruder BBL machines to show extended nozzle options
• Cleanup code changes

PREVIEW

CHANGES

• Moved BBL sync button and network button to titlebar
• Added new icons for BBL sync button
• Removed wiki button on bed plate selection combo box
• Hides edit icon instead replacing with blank icon to increase text area

• Fixed background and border color on focus. now it covers all frame

• Fixed some dark mode related problems
• Fixed scaling related issues

FEATURES

• much more compact compared to bbl solution. i have increased font size thats why less part of name is visible. before-after

cover automatically hidden. i have used sidebar width when it touches parameter boxes as base

• Unified nozzle diameter selection. bottom section is showing nozzle type like brass etc.

• New build plate thumbnails. added icons and colorized them to make them easier to discern

• Auto hides printer cover if there is not enough space

• Auto hides bed plate selection combo box if multiple plates not supported by printer

• Added title to image preview. now it opens faster like a tooltip. fixed problems for dark mode

KNOWN ISSUES

• Focus events stuck on combobox (from current code)
• Some text color not updates after switching dark mode

QUESTIONABLE - FEEDBACK

• Hide nozzle section if there is only one nozzle option exist
• Wrapping support not exist on combo box. so not wrapping possible on printer combo box on this stage
