Tool colour in DWC?

Chriss

Hi *,

I can remember that there is/was a possibility to specify the tool colour in the DWC somehow in the config but I can not find it anymore. Could somebody give me a hint please?
The docu from M563 or M308 did not help me.

Cheers, Chriss

@Chriss I don't think you've ever been able to.
AFAIK, the colours are selected from a list built into DWC.
You can however change the tool colours in panels you create in BtnCmd

That is a bit strange, I have found this in one of my older configs:

;; Bed Corner temp sensor (2=Orange, 3=Brown, 4=Green, 5=Yellow, 6=Purple 7=Black, )
; Configure Bed corner temp sensor as thermistor on pin temp2
M308 S5 P"0.temp1" Y"thermistor" A"Bed-Corner" T100000 B4138

So at least the colours of the sensors have/had that feature. I can remember that I created the list of colours in the past.

I guess that we all agree that we want to change the colours here, don't we?

"BtnCmd"?

@Chriss yes, thats the ones i'm talking about.
they're a set colour order that can't be changed without modifying the DWC source

@jay_s_uk It seems like I instantly felt in love with BtnCmd.
