[Feature Request] PrusaViewer - solid background for tool position #6323

Open fe60 opened 3 years ago

fe60 commented 3 years ago

Version

PrusaSlicer G-code Viewer-2.3.0+win64-UNKNOWN

Operating system type + version

Windows 10 20H2

Behavior

Current

I want to modify gcode in a text editor and watch the result in PrusaViewer. To identify the correct location in the file I often look for the tool position in the viewer and compare it with the values in the gcode file. This is harder than it has to be for two reasons:

  1. The translucent background can make it hard to read the tool position (see second 1 of 181 in screenshot).
  2. Looking for the coordinates shown in the viewer doesn't work well, as it is shown with two decimals in the viewer, while the values in the gcode come with a precision of three places. It gets even worse if the values have been rounded (compare position in viewer with selected row in editor). (already implemented, see comment below) PrusaViewerToolPosition

Expected

Show tool position in PrusaViewer with three decimal places on a solid background.

Is this a new feature request? Yes

Tool position is already displayed with 3 decimal places in the latest 2.4 alpha: image
