#29

Created forum thread with Mockup: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=25328

@yorikvanhavre presented a new UI in https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=36556&start=10#p313848
This was added to master in http://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/commit/3e65306a9

Testers are welcome

May I suggest one for PieMenu?:

Original svg (you are free to modify it if you feel like):
pie_menu_v01.svg.zip

Cheers

@pgilfernandez nice! I've posted to @triplus on the issue I opened (triplus/PieMenu#7 (comment)), since it really should be his call.

So none of triplus's addons will get a logo, per his perogative.
We're still pending on:

• [DesignSPHysics] Please create a SVG logo for this workbench DualSPHysics/DesignSPHysics#14
• [Silk] SVG logo that represents this WB edwardvmills/Silk#10
• [NURBS] What is the SVG logo of this WB? microelly2/freecad-nurbs#7
• [Frame] Logo for this workbench looooo/freecad.frametools#3

Edit: typos

Follow-up to previous post...here's a quick visual progress report:

Note that it is no longer necessary to submit an icon for addition to the main FreeCAD repo: adding a package.xml metadata file with the path to the workbench's icon is sufficient for the Addon Manager to download and display your icon. See details at https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Package_Metadata

Great. In that case I need to change this in the documentation. I just need to remember where... 😂 🤦

Ok, starting to compile a list of docs that need changing:

• https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-addons/blob/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/add-a-new-workbench-addon-to-this-repo.md

@chennes is there an example of metadata file that you can link me to?

There are two examples at the bottom of the wiki page about package metadata, or you can look at the Curves WB.

A status update: as of this writing, the following Workbenches do not have icons (in some cases the icon is present and there is simply a problem with their package.xml file so the Addon Manager can't find it)

• Better Tool Library
• bimtester
• CommandPanel
• CubeMenu
• dxf-library
• Glass
• IconThemes
• kerkythea
• Launcher
• Maker Workbench
• Navigator Indicator
• offline-documentation
• ose-piping
• persistenttoolbars
• pivy_trackers
• pluginloader
• SelectorToolbar
• ShortCuts
