Customize OffsetTable and PathView

#1 · 9 September 2025, 10:58

Is it possible to customize the OffsetTable? Make columns and fonts larger? Give the line ofe the selected Offset a different Background-Color?

Can I "draw" The Work-Area and my Toolchanger into the PathView or Make it visible otherwise?

Thanks in advance

I’ve attached a screenshot showing a simple customization of the table widget example (see the CSS section).
For additional parameters, you can refer to the Qt Style Sheet Reference and read about QTableView styling.

CSS support in Qt (the framework used in simCNC) is somewhat limited, but still quite powerful if you take the time to explore it.

Customization of the path view is not currently possible, besides colors.

Here's some example of offsets table styling:

#id {
font-size: 10px;
color: red;
}

#id QHeaderView::section {
font-size: 24px;
background-color: blue;
color: white;
}

For more information refer to: https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.15/stylesheet.html and look for QTableView or QTableWidget.

Regarding to path view - currently there is no option to add own shapes or 3D models. You can only tweak the colors (look colors.css file in the screen directory).
