Lord of the Toolbars display


Because everything else on my machine (and specifically within Sketchup) is displaying well, it seems like a specific LOTT display issue. Is anyone else having this issue?

What is your display scaling set to?

Hi Dan,

I’m currently at the dreaded 175% which I realize is too high. However, I set to 150% (recommended) and I even tried 100%. Neither corrected the issue. I also tried changing my resolution, but that had no cure either.

Thanks, of course, for your quick response!!!

It looks like this issue is coming from SU2024: Basically, the Load event of the dialog is never received.

This has happened in early versions of SU2024.

Do you see the same problems with other dialogs of my plugins or LibFredo6 (like CheckPluginsForUpdate)?

I guess this does not happen with SU2023. Am I correct?

FYI: SketchUp (with it’s current Qt library version) only supports displays at recommended resolution and scaling.

Also, older versions of the Chromium Embedded Framework for HTML dialogs did not include text scaling, but SU2024 updated to CEF 112 which does apply text scaling on top of display scaling.

Have you also set text scaling above 100% ?

Hi F6,

CheckPluginsForUpdate seems to show correctly and function well. This is not happening in SU2023. I’m checking my text scaling now.

Hi Dan,

I just adjusted the text scaling which instantly resolved the issue. But, I now require a magnifying glass for these old eyes!

Dan’s suggestion for the text scaling worked. When I adjust the text scaling to 100% the display of your toolbars works correctly. Because the system/display/scale can be set at 200% (above my previous 175%) that seems to solve my eye problems. I’ll have to work with this setting for a while to see if it is good across the board.

Thanks both of you for your help!!

Hi Fredo6,

So the scaling doesn’t help with the text size, i’m stuck with switching my text size back and forth to display the LOTT correctly on sketchup. Since only LOTT has the problem (as far as I can tell) is it something that will be fixed?

Also, my LOTT menu on the windows title bar is missing the viewport maximizer and I can’t find a setting to activate it. Sorry for the thread hijacking.

Some of the features in LOTT that could be used in previous SketchUp versions could not be brought forward to SU2024 because of the Qt GUI migration.

@Fredo6 I just installed LOTT after seeing the tutorial by @JustinTSE at the sketchup summit. I’m on a Mac and do not get the context click options he shows in his video for inserting line breaks and separators before or after command. I am hovering over the icon and then right clicking on my mouse and nothing happens. Is there something I am missing? I have LibFredo6 14.5 installed

Do you right-click on an icon?

yes I am. Also tried right clicking in open space

Which version of LOTT do you have. Is it the latest.

In any case, could you keep the Ruby console open when right clicking on icons.

I have version 2.7b. Here is the console text:

Actually, I had fixed the issue in April, but forgot to publish it apparently.

Can you try LOTT V2.7c, just published at Skechucation.
