IMPROVEMENTS

• Changed GUI direction to bottom to top. so fold / expand button stays on same position. that makes easy to toggle
• Fixed all elements positions while slider moves to improve readability
• Colorized Axes labels to improve readability
• Matched fold / unfold button icon with gcode viewer to improve consistency
• Moved plot to same window with table to make main window more compact
• Added support for big size printer. position section is uses less decimal points if print size bigger then 999cm
• Matched colors with overall design
• Matched libvgcode terms with Orca ones
• Fixed some text non translated or replaced with existing translations
• Added scaling support to window

CHANGES

• Used "Flow rate" instead "Volumetric flow rate" term to make window more compact
• Used table window on left to prevent overlapping with gcode window
• Moved units to right on top section to make window even more space efficient

COMPARISON - SCREEN SPACE USAGE

Before - After

much more compact while unfolded. gains screen space back

COMPARISON - READABILITY

Before - All items changes positions while moving slider. makes reading values harder

After - All items rendered with fixed position to improve readability

COMPARISON - ABILITY TO MAKE QUICK COMPARISONS / CHECKS

Before - Fold/Unfold button changes position constantly. this makes quick comparisons harder

After - Fold/Unfold button stays on same position. Also kept table button close to this area to make easily accessible

NOTES

• Table can show up to 10 rows but only saw one time this amount of values. maybe this one is a bug or missing lines to split moves

MISSING TRANSLATIONS

• Matched most of translations, but these are missing
"Color: " , "Actual Speed: " , "Actual speed profile" , "Extrude" , "Pause Print"
